Q9 of 24 Page 31

A car travels at a velocity of 80 km/h during the first half of its running time and at 40 km/h during the other half. Find the average speed of the car.

Let the total running time be t h.


Distance covered in first h




Distance covered in other h



Total distance


So, Average speed


60 km/h
