a car travels first 100 kilometre in to whole 1 by 2 hours and next 30 kilometre in 1 by 2 hours .what is its average speed
Answers
let total time taken be T hrs
Phase 1 :-
distance travelled = 100kms
time taken = 1/2 of total time T
Phase 2 :-
distance travelled = 30kms
time taken = next 1/2 of total T
now average speed = total distance travelled / total time taken
= {(100kms / 0.5 of total) + (30kms / 0.5 of total)} / T
{since, speed = distance/time
= (130 kms/ hrs)
i.e 130 km/hr ←← ans
Hope it will help u..

- A car travels 100 km in 1/2 hrs.
- The same car also travels the next 30 km in 1/2 hrs.
Average speed of the car.
Firt distance covered by car (D1) = 100 km
The same car travels distance (D2) = 30 km
So,
Total distance covered by car = D1 + D2
⇒ 100 + 30
⇒ 130 km
Also,
Time taken by car to cover the first distance (T1) = 1/2 hrs.
Time taken by car to cover the second distance (T2) = 1/2 hrs.
Total time taken by car to cover the total distance = T1 + T2
⇒ 1/2 + 1/2
⇒ 0.5 + 0.5
⇒ 1 hr.
Now,
Average speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken
Substitute the known values in above formula
⇒ 130/1
⇒ 130 km/hr.
•°• Average Speed of the car is 130 km/hr.
