Question : A person goes from P to Q at a speed of 20 km/hr. Then he goes from Q to R at a speed of
Option 1: 40
Option 2: 37.5
Option 3: 42.5
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 40
Solution :
The distances from P to Q, Q to R and R to S are equal.
Let the distance from P to Q = distance from Q to R = distance from R to S =
Speed of the person from P to Q = 20 km/hr
Speed of the person from Q to R =
Average speed from P to R =
Speed of the person from Q to R =
Speed of the person from R to S =
Average speed from P to R =
So,
Hence, the correct answer is 40.
