      A cyclist moves from location ‘L’ to location ‘M’,

      covering (1/2) of the total distance in 4 hours and the rest in 3 hours. If he comes back to ‘L’ from ‘M’ in 5 hours, calculate his average speed for the entire journey, given that the distance between ‘L’ and ‘M’ is 35 km.
      A 4.5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8.65 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5.83 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Average speed = total distance covered ÷ total time taken

      Total time taken = 4 + 3 + 5 = 12 hours

      Total distance covered = 35 × 2 = 70 km.

      Required average speed = 70/12 = 5.83 km/h
