A person covers 11 km with a speed of 7 km/h, 25 km with a speed of 10 km/h and 30 km with a speed of 20 km/h. What is the average speed of the person?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e.
Given that
The person covers 11 km at a speed of 7 km/h
Time taken = 11 / 7 hours
He covers 25 km at a speed of 10 km/h
Time taken = 25 / 10 hours
He covers 30 km at a speed of 20 km/h
Time taken = 30 / 20 hours
Formula used
Average speed = total distance / total time
Hence, average speed = 66 / = 66 × = = .
