SSC CGL - 26 July 2023 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

A cyclist rides 20 km in 120 minutes and rides another 25 km in 150 minutes. What is the average speed of the cyclist, in km/h?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 10.

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Given that

Total distance = 20 + 25 = 45 km

Total time = 150 + 120 = 270 min = 4.5 hours

Hence, average speed = 454.5=10 km/hr\frac{45}{4.5} = 10\ km/hr
