car moves with a speed of 30 km/Mr for half an hour, 25 km/h' for one hour and 40 km/h for two hours. Calculate average speed of the car |

Answer» In the first case , the car travels at a speed of 30km/hr for a time of 0.5 hour. Now, Speed = So , 30 = Therefore, Distance = 30 × 0.5 = 15km ..............(1) In the second case , the car travels at a speed of 25km/hr for a time of 1 hour. Since, Speed = So , Therefore, Distance = 25 × 1 = 25km .............(2) In the THIRD case , the car travels at a speed of 40km/hr for a time of 2 hours. Since , Speed = So, Therefore, Distance = 40 × 2 = 80km ...........(3) By combining EQUATIONS, (1),(2), and (3) , we get ... Total Distance covered = 15 + 25 + 80 = 120 km. Total time taken = 0.5 + 1 + 2 = 3.5 hours. Therefore, Average speed = Therefore , Average Speed = 34.28km/hr. |
