Question

A man travelled first half of his journey at a speed of 60 kmph and the second half of his journey at a speed of 40 kmph. Find the average speed of the man

• A. 48 kmph
• B. 50kmph
• C. 55 kmph
• D. 45 kmph

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 50kmph

The average speed of the man = the average of both the speeds (here it is the average of both the speeds because the distance travelled with respective speeds is equal). The average speed = 60 + 40 / 2 = 100 / 2 = 50 kmph
