Given Problem:
A person goes to market from his home with an average speed of 20 km/hr on his return trip along the same route there is less traffic and the average speed is 30 km/hr .what will be the average speed for his entire journey.
Solution:
To Find:
Average speed for his entire journey
-------------------------------------------
Given That,
⇒Let the distance traveled by Abdul from home to school = y km.
⇒Time taken to reach the school = t 1 second.
⇒For Return journey,Abdul cover distance = y km.
⇒Time = t2 second.
∴ Average speed for forward journey{home - school}=
⇒20 km/h = y/t1
⇒t1 =s/20 h -------------equation(1)
⇒Average speed for backward journey[school -home]=
⇒30 km/h =s/t2
⇒t2=y/30h ----------------equation(2)
⇒Average distance for entire journey =
According to formula,
⇒(s+s)/[s/20 +s/30]
⇒2s/s[1/20+1/30]
⇒2x20x30/50
⇒24 km/hr..........................(Answer)
