    Question

    A biker rode for 3 hours at 80 km/h and then for 2 hours at

    60 km/h. Calculate the average speed during the entire ride.
    A 72 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 44 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 55 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total distance travelled by the biker = 80 × 3 + 60 × 2 = 240 + 120 = 360 km

    Total time taken = 3 + 2 = 5 hours

    So, average speed = total distance travelled ÷ total time taken = 360 ÷ 5 = 72 km/h
