Question : A truck goes from Haryana to Bangalore with an average speed of 60 km/hr. The journey takes 30 hours. It returns from Bangalore to Haryana on the same road with an average speed of 40 km/hr. What was the average speed of the truck during the roundtrip?
Option 1: 60 km/hr
Option 2: 40 km/hr
Option 3: 50 km/hr
Option 4: 48 km/hr
Correct Answer: 48 km/hr
Solution : The distance from Haryana to Bangalore = 60 km/hr × 30 hr = 1800 km The truck returns on the same road, so the total distance of the round trip = 2 × 1800 km = 3600 km Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Time}}}$ The time is taken for the return journey from Bangalore to Haryana = $\frac{1800}{40}$ = 45 hours So, the total time for the round trip = 30 hours + 45 hours = 75 hours Average speed = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{{\text{Total time}}}$ The average speed of the truck during the round trip = $\frac{3600}{75}$ = 48 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 48 km/hr.
