    Question

    A person travels 30 km at a speed of 15 km/h, another 20

    km at 10 km/h, and the final 50 km at 25 km/h. What is the average speed for the entire journey?
    A 15 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16.67 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18.5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time for the first part = Distance / Speed = 30 / 15 = 2 hours. Time for the second part = 20 / 10 = 2 hours. Time for the third part = 50 / 25 = 2 hours. Total distance = 30 + 20 + 50 = 100 km. Total time = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 hours. Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 100 / 6 ≈ 16.67 km/h. Correct Option: b
