    Question

    A car travels 80 km at the speed of 20 km/h and the next 30 km at the speed of 30 km/h. What is the average speed?

    A.

    30 km/h

    B.

    20 km/h

    C.

    40 km/h

    D.

    22 km/h

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    First time
    Speed = 20 km/h
    Distance = 80 km
    For next 30 km
    Speed = 30 km/h
    Formula Used:
    Speed = DistanceTime\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}​​
    Solution:
    For first 80 km
    Total time taken to cover the distance
    => Time =DistanceTime=8020=4h\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}= \frac{80}{20}= 4 h​​
    Now for next 30 km
    => Time taken = 3030\frac{30}{30}= 1 hr​
    => Total distance covered = 80 + 30 = 110 km
    => Total time = 5 h
    => Average speed of car = Total DistanceTotal Time=1105=22 km/h\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{110}{5} = 22 \, \text{km/h}​​
    => Hence, Average speed of car is 22 km/h
