Question : A tourist van travels the distance of 35 km from Dehradun to Mussoorie at an average speed of 36 km/h and returns at 60 km/hr. What is the approximate average speed (in km/hr) of the tourist van for the entire journey?
Option 1: 48
Option 2: 42
Option 3: 45
Option 4: 50
Correct Answer: 45
Solution : Speed of going = 36 km/hr Speed of coming = 60 km/hr We know that, Average speed = $\frac{\text{2 × (Speed of going) × (Speed of coming)}}{\text{(Speed of going) + (Speed of coming)}}$ = $\frac{2\times36\times60}{36+60}$ = $\frac{4320}{96}$ = 45 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 45.
