Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 65 Km/hr Given: First distance = 150 km First speed = 75 km/h Remaining distance = 130 Overall average speed in entire journey = 70 km Concept used: Average speed = (Total distance)/(Total time) Calculations: Time taken in first 150 km = 150/75 = 2 hr Total distance = 150 + 130 = 280 km So, total time = Distance/Speed ⇒ 280/70 = 4 hrs Time for rest of the journey = 4 – 2 = 2 hrs Average speed for the remaining journey = 130/2 = 65 km/hr ∴ The car’s average speed for the remaining journey is 65 km/h |
