A man covers a total distance of 100 km on bicycle. For the first 2 hours, the speed was 20 km/hr and for the rest of the journey, it came down to 10 km/hr. The average speed will be
-
-
12 1 km/hr 2 - 13 km/hr
-
15 1 km/hr 8 - 20 km/hr
-
Correct Option: A
Distance covered in first 2 hours
= 2 × 20 = 40 km.
Remaining distance
= 100 – 40 = 60 km.
Time taken in covering 60 km at 10 kmph
= | = 6 hours | |
10 |
∴ Required average speed = | |
Total Time |
= | kmph | |||
2 + 6 |
= | kmph | |||
8 |
= | kmph | |
2 |
= 12 | kmph | |
