      Question

      A person is travelling 500 km, partly by car and partly by

      train. The speed of the car is 70 km/h and train is 100 km/h. If the person drives for 55% of the distance, find the average speed of the complete journey (round off to the nearest whole number).
      A 20 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 81 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 56 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Time taken by car = (0.55 ร— 500) / 70 = 275 / 70 โ‰ˆ 3.93 hours

      Time taken by train = (0.45 ร— 500) / 100 = 225 / 100 = 2.25 hours

      Average speed = 500 / (3.93 + 2.25) = 500 / 6.18 โ‰ˆ 81 km/h
