Download Solution PDFGiven:
Speed1 = 40 km/h, Distance1 = 48 km
Speed2 = 65 km/h, Distance2 = 52 km
Formula used:
Time = Distance/ Speed
Average Speed = Total Distance/ Total Time
Calculation:
Total Distance traveled = 48 km + 52 km
⇒ 100 km
Total Time = 48 km/ 40 km/h + 52 km/ 65 km/h
⇒ 6/5 + 4/5 = 2 hours
Average Speed = 100 km/ 2 hours
∴ The required Speed = 50 km/h
