    Question

    Rahul travels a certain distance at a speed of 4 km/h and returns at a speed of 3 km/h via same route. What was his average speed for the entire journey (correct to 2 decimal places)?

    A.

    3.43 km/h

    B.

    5.92 km/h

    C.

    1.23 km/h

    D.

    2.5 km/h

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Speed on the way out 4 km/h
    Speed on the way back 3 km/h
    Formula Used:
    Average speed = 2s1s2s1+s2\frac{2s_1s_2}{s_1+s_2}​​
    Solution:
    Average speed = 2s1s2s1+s2\frac{2s_1s_2}{s_1+s_2}= 2×4×34+3=3.43 km/h\frac{2 \times 4 \times 3}{4 + 3} = 3.43 \, \text{km/h}​​
