A car covers 4 successive 3km stretches at speed of 10kmph,20kmph,30kmph &
60kmph resp. Its average speed is.
17kmph
20 kmph
16kmph
18kmph
Explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 4 * 3 = 12 km
total time = 3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60
= 36/60 hr
speed =12/36 * 60 = 20 kmph
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 4 * 3 = 12 km
total time = 3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60
= 36/60 hr
speed =12/36 * 60 = 20 kmph
