A car covers a distance of 48 km at a speed of 40 km/h and another 52 km with a speed of 65 km/h. What is the average speed of the car (in km/h) for the total distance covered?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 50
Total Distance traveled = 48 km + 52 km
⇒ 100 km
Total Time = (48/40) + (52/65)
⇒ 6/5 + 4/5 = 2 hours
Average Speed = (100/2)
The required Average Speed = 50 km/h
