A car travels 281 km in the first hour and 163 km in the second hour. What is the average speed (in km/h) of the car for the whole journey?

Correct option is B

Given:

Distance in 1st hour = 281 km

Distance in 2nd hour = 163 km

Total time = 2 hours

Formula Used:

Average Speed = $$\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}$$​​

Solution:

Total Distance= 281 + 163 = 444 km

Total Time = 2 hours

Average Speed = $$\frac{444}{2} = 222 \, \text{km/h}$$​​
