A car cover first half of the distance with 60kmph and
second half of the distance with 40kmph what is the average
speed?

Answer Posted / ranganathappa c

we know that speed=distance travelled/time taken
let the total distance travelled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
then average speed= total distance travelled/ total time
taken.

=2x/[(x/60)+(x/40)]
=2x/[5x/120] (on simplification)
=48 kmph
