A man covers a journey from Meerut to Delhi by a car at an average speed of 40 km/hr. He returns back by scooter with an average speed 24 km/hr. Find his average speed during the whole journey?
Correct Answer: 30 kmph
Explanation:
Since equal distances are covered at 40 kmph and 24 kmph, we can apply the formula 2xy/(x+y) Average speed= (2×40×24)/(40+24) = 30 kmph
