    • Question

      A man starts his journey from point ‘P’ to point

      ‘Q’. He covers (1/5)th of the total distance in 2 hours and the rest in 8 hours. If he takes 10 hours to return to point ‘P’ from point ‘Q’, then determine his average speed for the complete journey if the distance between ‘P’ and ‘Q’ is 50 km.
      A 4 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 6 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Average speed = total distance covered ÷ total time taken

      Total time taken = 2 + 8 + 10 = 20 hours

      Total distance covered = 50 × 2 = 100 km.

      Required average speed = 100/20 = 5 km/h
