A car moves from A to B with a speed of ( 30 kmph ) and from B to A with a speed of ( 20 kmph ). What is the average speed of the car ?
Options
- A( 25 kmph )
- B( 24 kmph )
- C( 50 kmph )
- D( 10 kmph )
Correct answer
B. ( 24 kmph )
Step-by-step solution
Given, speed of car from A to B =30 kmph ⁻¹=v₁ Speed of car from B to A=20 ~km h⁻¹=v₂ Average speed of car = 2 v₁+v₂ v₁+v₂ = 2 30 20 30+20 = 1200 50 =24 Average speed of car =24 kmph
