SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 26th July 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q43

A bus travels 90 km in 2 hours and returns in 3 hours. What is the average speed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Distance (outward) = 90 km

Distance (return) = 90 km

Total distance = 90 + 90

= 180 km

Total time = 2 + 3

= 5 hours

Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time

= 180 ÷ 5

= 36 km/h
