    Question

    A train runs at a speed of 114 kmph to cover a distance of 228 km and then at a speed of 93 kmph to cover a distance of 372km. Find the average speed of the train for the entire distance.

    A.

    100 kmph

    B.

    60 kmph

    C.

    125 kmph

    D.

    113 kmph

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    First part: Speed = 114 km/h, Distance = 228 km
    Second part: Speed = 93 km/h, Distance = 372 km
    Formula Used:
    Average speed = Total distanceTotal time\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}
    Time = DistanceSpeed\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
    Solution:
    Time1=228114=2 hours\text{Time}_1 = \frac{228}{114} = 2 \text{ hours}

    Time2=37293=4 hours\text{Time}_2 = \frac{372}{93} = 4 \text{ hours}​​
    Total Distance=228+372=600 km\text{Total Distance} = 228 + 372 = 600 \text{ km}​​
    Total Time=2+4=6 hours\text{Total Time} = 2 + 4 = 6 \text{ hours}​​
    Average Speed=Total DistanceTotal Time=6006=100 km/h\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{600}{6} = 100 \text{ km/h}
    Option (A) is right.
