    Question



    A boy goes to School at a speed of 6 km/hr which is 4 km away from home and returns home at a speed of 12 km/hr. the average speed is:

    A.

    9 km/hr

    B.

    8 km/hr

    C.

    6 km/hr

    D.

    10 km/hr

    Correct option is B


    Time to school: Distance / Speed = 4 km / 6 km/hr = 2/3 hour
    Time to home: Distance / Speed = 4 km / 12 km/hr = 1/3 hour
    Total distance: 4 km + 4 km = 8 km
    Total time: 2/3 hour + 1/3 hour = 3/3 hour = 1 hour
    Average speed: Total distance / Total time = 8 km / 1 hour = 8 km/hr
    Therefore, the average speed is 8 km/hr.
