      A car moves from city ‘A’ to city ‘B’ at 50 km/h

      and returns back from city ‘B’ to city ‘A’ at 75 km/h. Find the car’s average speed during the entire round trip.
      A 52 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 75 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,


      Let the distance between city ‘A’ and ‘B’ = D km

      Average speed = Total distance / Total time

      Average speed = (D + D) / [(D / 50) + (D / 75)]

      = 2D / [(3D + 2D)/150]

      = 2D / (5D / 150)

      = (2D / 5D) × 150

      = 60 km/h
