    Question

    A car covers 60 km at a speed of 84 km/h. If the average speed for the whole journey is72 km/h, then the speed of the car for the next 60 km of the journey is:

    A.

    63 km/h

    B.

    68 km/h

    C.

    78 km/h

    D.

    75 km/h

    Correct option is A

    If the distance is same, then average speed = 2S1S2S1+S2\frac{2 S_1 S_2}{S_1 +S_2}

    72= 2×84×S284+S2\frac{2×84× S_2}{84 +S_2}

    72×84+72S2=2×84×S272×84=96S2S2=63km/hr72×84 + 72 S_2= 2×84×S_2\\72×84= 96S_2\\S_2 = 63 km/hr​​
