A bus travels 150 Km in 3 hours and then travel next 2 hours at 60 Km/hr. Then the average speed of the bus will be?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 54 Km/hr

As we know,

Distance = Speed × Time

= 60 × 2 = 120 km

Total distance = 120 + 150 = 270 km

Total time = 3 + 2 = 5 hours

Average Speed = Total distance/Total time

= 270/5 = 54 km/h
