Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 6 km/h Given: Two speed are 3 km/h and 9 km/h Formula used: If time1 = time2, and two different speed are given, then formula for calculation average speed is as follows: Average speed = Sum of speed/Number of different speed: Calculation: Average speed = (3 + 9)/2 ⇒ 6 km/h Alternative method Total distance = (3 × 5) + (9 × 5) = 60 km Total time = (5 + 5) hours = 10 hours Average speed = 60/10 = 6 km/h |
