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.
