    Question

    A cyclist covered a distance in two parts: first 1.5 hours

    at 32 km/h and then 2.5 hours at 48 km/h. What was the average speed for the complete journey?
    A 42 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 55 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 58 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total distance travelled by the cyclist = 32 ├Ч 1.5 + 48 ├Ч 2.5 = 48 + 120 = 168 km

    Total time taken = 1.5 + 2.5 = 4 hours

    So, average speed = total distance travelled ├╖ total time taken = 168 ├╖ 4 = 42 km/h
