SSC MTS - 25 July 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

Aman goes from A to B at a speed of 40 km/h. Using the same route, he comes back from B to A, at a speed of 55 km/h. What is his approximate average speed for the whole journey?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 46.32 km/h

Average speed = 2ABA+B\dfrac{2AB}{A+B} (Where A and B are the speeds)

Therefore Average speed = 2 x 40 x 55/(40 + 55)

⇒ 46.32 km/h
