  • A person goes from A to B at the speed of 40 kmph and comes back at the speed of 60 kmph.
Question 1:
A person goes from A to B at the speed of 40 kmph and comes back at the speed of 60 kmph.
What is his average speed for the whole journey?
A. 56 km/h
B. 48 km/h
Feedback Since the distance travelled on both sides is the same, we can use the formula of harmonic mean of speeds
Average Speed: 2xy/(x+y) where, x is the speed while going from A to B and y is the speed while coming back.
So using this formula, we get the answer as 48 kmph.
C. 36 km/h
D. 25 km/h
