Question : A person travels in a car at 40 km/hr for 3 hours, on a bike at 30 km/hr for 2 hours, and in a train at 80 km/hr for 5 hours. What is the average speed at which he travelled?
Option 1: 56 km/hr
Option 2: 60 km/hr
Option 3: 62 km/hr
Option 4: 58 km/hr
Correct Answer: 58 km/hr
Solution :
We know Distance = Speed × Time
Distance travelled by the person travelling at 40 km/hr for 3 hours = 40 × 3 km = 120 km
Distance travelled by the person travelling at 30 km/hr for 2 hours = 30 × 2 km = 60 km
Distance travelled by the person travelling at 80 km/hr for 5 hours = 80 × 5 km = 400 km
Now, Average Speed = $\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}$
= $\frac{120+60+400}{3+2+5}$
= 58 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 58 km/hr.
