    Question

    A car travels from city ‘A’ to city ‘B’ covering

    (1/3)rd of the total distance in 5 hours and the rest in 7 hours. If it takes 8 hours to return to city ‘A’ from city ‘B’, determine the average speed for the entire journey, given that the distance between city ‘A’ and city ‘B’ is 90 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 9 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Average speed = total distance covered ÷ total time taken

    Total time taken = 5 + 7 + 8 = 20 hours

    Total distance covered = 90 × 2 = 180 km.

    Required average speed = 180/20 = 9 km/h
