Q4 of 26 Page 13

A vehicle travels half the distance L with speed V1 and the other half with speed V2, then its average speed is

Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to total time taken to cover that distance.


For first half, let the time taken to cover the distance L be t1



For the second half of the motion, let the time taken to cover the distance L be t2.
