A train travels the first 30 km of 120 km track with a uniform speed of 30 km/h. What should be the speed of the train to cover the remaining distance of track so that average speed will be 60km/h for the whole journey?

Time TAKEN to travel FIRST 30 KM

t1 = \frac{30km}{30km/h}

= 1 h

Let V = speed of the train with which it travels the remaining distance of 90 km.

Time taken to travel remaining distance (90km)

=》 T2 = \frac{90}{V}

=》Average speed = \frac{Total\:Distance}{Total\:Time\:Taken}

=》Average speed = \frac{120}{t1 + t2} ........... ☝

=》 Average Speed = 60 km/h (given in the question )

Put the value of t1 and t2 in the equation ☝

=》 60 = \frac{120}{1 + \frac{90}{V} }

=》 1 + \frac{90}{V} = \frac{120}{60}

=》 1 + \frac{90}{V} = 2 OR

=》 V = 90 km/h

So, the speed by which the train needs to travel to continue its average speed of 60km/h is 90km/h .
