Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
2/3 of journey = 45 kmph
1/4 of journey = 60 kmph
(1 - 2/3 - 1/4 = 1/12) of journey = 75 kmph
Formula:
Average speed = Total distance/Total time
Calculation:
Let total distance of journey be a km.
Time taken for 2/3 of journey = 2a/135 hours
Time taken for 1/4 of journey = a/240 hours
Time taken for 1/12 of journey = a/900 hours
Total time taken for a km = 2a/135 + a/240 + a/900 = 217a/10800 hours
∴ Average speed = a/(217a/10800) = 49.77kmph
