    returns from B to A at 60 km/h by the same route. What is his average speed for the whole journey?
    A 48 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 28 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, For the same distance both ways, average speed = (2xy)/(x + y), where x and y are the two speeds. Average speed = (2 Ă— 40 Ă— 60) / (40 + 60) = (4800) / 100 = 48 km/h.
