      Question

      A was travelling from point X to point Y. He increased

      his speed by 12 km/h after every hour. He reached his destination in 16 hours. If his initial speed was 50 km/h, then what was his average speed in the whole journey?
      A 120 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 130 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 140 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 110 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total distance travelled by A = (16/2) Γ— {2 Γ— 50 + (16 – 1) Γ— 12} = 12 Γ— (100 + 180) = 2240 km Required average speed = 2240/16 = 140 km/h
