Question

On a 100km track, a train travels the first 30km at a uniform speed of 30km/h. How fast must the train travel the next 70km so as to average 40km/h for the entire trip?

Answer 1

100/ ( t +1 ) = 40
t = 1.5
Speed = 70/1.5
=46.667 km / h

Answer 2

Solution :-
Given : 
Distance 1 = 30 km
Distance 2 = 70 km
We know that speed = distance/time
and, Average speed = total distance/total time taken
When the train acquired a speed of 30 km/hr, the time taken = 30/30 = 1 hour
Average speed = 9distance 1 + distance 2)/(time 1 + time 2)
AS time 2 or t2 is time taken for the second part of the journey of 70 km 
⇒ 40 = 100/(1 + t2)
⇒ 40 + 40t2 = 100
⇒ 40t2 = 100 - 40
⇒ 40t2 = 60
⇒ t2 = 60/40
⇒ t2 = 1.5 
So, t2 or time taken to travel the second part of the journey is 1.5 hours.
Speed of the second part of the journey = distance 2/time 2
⇒ 70/1.5
⇒ 46.666 km/hr or 46.7 km/hr
Answer.
great luck!
