the train travel 15 km at a speed of 30 km/ hr
it means the time travel by the train at the speed of 30km /hr is 30mins
lly the train travel nex 75 km at a speed of 50km/hr
it means that the time travel by the train at this speed is 1.5 hrs= 90 mins
lly the train travel last 10km at a speed of 20km/hr
it means the time travel by the train at this speed is 30 min
there fore the total distance travel by the train = 30+20+75=125km
and the total time taken by the train=30+30+90=150minsor 2.5 hrs
av speed = total distance by total time
125/2.5 = 50 km/hr
it means the time travel by the train at the speed of 30km /hr is 30mins
lly the train travel nex 75 km at a speed of 50km/hr
it means that the time travel by the train at this speed is 1.5 hrs= 90 mins
lly the train travel last 10km at a speed of 20km/hr
it means the time travel by the train at this speed is 30 min
there fore the total distance travel by the train = 30+20+75=125km
and the total time taken by the train=30+30+90=150minsor 2.5 hrs
av speed = total distance by total time
125/2.5 = 50 km/hr
