    Question

    A bus travels from station P to station Q at a speed of 70 km/h, and from station Q to station P at a speed of 90 km/h. What is the average speed of the bus during the entire journey?

    B.

    78.75 km/h

    C.

    80.25 km/h

    D.

    82.35 km/h

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Speed from station P to station Q: 70 km/h
    Speed from station Q to station P: 90 km/h
    Formula Used:
    Average speed = 2xyx+y\frac{2xy}{x + y}​​
    Solution:
    Average speed = 2×70×9070+90=78.75 km/hr\frac{2 \times 70 \times 90}{70 + 90} = 78.75\, \text{km/hr}​ = 78.75 km/h
