  • Average speed =total distance/total time
  • total distance travelled =90*1.5 + 110*2=355km
  • total time =4 hrs
  • average speed=88.75km/hr

doubt12: ok
amarraj79: no time taken is 1.5+2 hours. because is not running between 9:30 to 10:00
amarraj79: that is 3.5 hour
ShivamumeshSingh: for average speed we simply count the time taken to travel between two position either the object is moving or not
amarraj79: u may right, but my think is that average speed of trains are labeled on the basis of running period. otherwise if a train is delayed for 1or 2days then it's average speed gets very low.
ShivamumeshSingh: ya u r correct i also think so but we need to go through the formula
ShivamumeshSingh: it would be better to have correct answer from the one who posted this question
amarraj79: please give correct answer who has posted it.
doubt12: The correct answer is 88.75 km/h
amarraj79: okkk

Answer:

Distance traveled between A and B

=90*3/2=135km

Distance traveled between B to C

=110*2=220km

Total distance traveled =220+135=355km

Tolal time taken=2+1.5=3.5h

Avg speed=total distance/time

=335/3.5=95.71km/h
