A man covers 1/3 of his total journey at 40 km/h and the remaining 2/3 at 80 km/h. Find his average speed for the entire journey.
A. 55 km/h
B. 65 km/h
C. 70 km/h
D. 60 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Let total distance be 120 km. First part = 40 km; Time = 40 / 40 = 1 hour. Remaining part = 80 km; Time = 80 / 80 = 1 hour. Total distance = 120 km, Total time = 2 hours. Average speed = 120 / 2 = 60 km/h.
