    Question

    A train travels 120 km at a speed of 60 km/h and then

    travels another 80 km at a speed of 40 km/h. What is the average speed for the entire journey?
    A 48 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 52 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 56 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 55 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The total distance = 120 km + 80 km = 200 km. The time taken for the first part of the journey = 120 km / 60 km/h = 2 hours. The time taken for the second part of the journey = 80 km / 40 km/h = 2 hours. So, the total time = 2 hours + 2 hours = 4 hours. The average speed = Total distance / Total time = 200 km / 4 hours = 50 km/h. Correct option: b
