Question

A tourist covers half of his journey by train at 60 km/h, half of the remainder by bus at 30
km/h and the rest by cycle at 10 km/h. The average of the tourist in km/h during his entire
journey is  


Options:
A .  36
B .  30
C .  24
D .  18
Answer: Option C

Let the total distance covered be 'D'

Now, average speed = `D/(Total   time   taken)`

= `D/(D/2/60 + D/4/30 + D/4/10)` = `1/(1/120 + 1/120 + 1/40)`  =`(120)/5`  =  24 km /hr
