    Question

    A journey of 600 km is undertaken by a person who travels

    part of it by jeep and the remaining by flight. The speed of the jeep is 80 km/h, and that of the flight is 240 km/h. If 30% of the journey is by jeep, find the average speed of the full journey.
    A 120 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 150 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 156 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Time taken by jeep = (0.30 × 600) / 80 = 180 / 80 = 2.25 hours

    Time taken by flight = (0.70 × 600) / 240 = 420 / 240 = 1.75 hours

    Average speed = 600 / (2.25 + 1.75) = 600 / 4 = 150 km/h
