If you travel 39 km at a speed of 26 km/h, another 39 km at a speed of 39 km/h and again 39 km at a speed of 52 km/h, what is your average speed for the entire journey?
-
- 39 km/h
- 37 km/h
- 33.33 km/h
- 36 km/h
Correct Option: D
Required average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken
= (3 x 39)/[39/26 + 39/39 +39/52]
= 3 x 13/(1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4)
= 3 x 13 x 12/13 = 36 km/h
