      Question

      A traveler covers a total distance of 600 km using a

      scooter and a train. The scooter travels at 40 km/h while the train runs at 120 km/h. If the traveler uses the scooter for 20% of the journey, find the average speed of the entire travel. (Approximate to nearest km/h)
      A 86 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 71 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 58 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Time by scooter = [(0.20 Γ— 600)/40] = (120/40) = 3 hours

      Time by train = [(0.80 Γ— 600)/120] = (480/120) = 4 hours

      Average speed = [(Total distance)/(Total time)] = [600/(3 + 4)] = (600/7) ~ 86 km/h
