Question

A car running with a speed of 69 km/hr takes 28 hours to go from 'A' to 'B'. If on the way back from 'B' to 'A', the car takes 20% less time than it takes while going from 'A' to 'B', then find the approximate average speed of the car during the whole journey

A 76.7 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 56.7 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 46.7 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 96.7 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Total distance covered by the car in 28 hours = 69 x 28 = 1932 km Time taken by the car in the return journey = 0.80 x 28 = 22.4 hours Average speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken Average speed of the car = (1932 x 2) ÷ (28 + 22.4) ~ 76.7 km/h
