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.
