Question

A man travels 600 km by train at 80 km/hr,  800 km by ship a 40 km/hr , 500 km by aeroplane at 400 km/hr  and 100 km by car at 50 km/hr . What is the average speed for the entire distance ?


Options:
A .  60 km/hr
B .  `60 5/123`km/hr
C .  62 km/hr
D .  `65 5/123` km/hr
Answer: Option D

Total distance travelled =  ( 600 + 800 + 500 + 100) km =  2000 km.

Total time taken = `(600/80 + 800 /40 + 500/400 + 100/50)`  hrs =` 123/4 `hrs.

`:.`      Average speed = `(2000 xx 4/123)` km/hr =  `8000/123` km/hr =  `65 5/123` km/hr.
