A person covers 9 km with a speed of 3 km/h, 25 km with a speed of 5 km/h and 30 km with a speed of 10 km/h. Find out the average speed of person.

Correct Answer: 59/11 km/h

Explanation:

Here, P = 9 km/h, Q = 25 km/h, R = 30 km
x = 3 km/h, y = 5 km/h and z = 10 km/h
∴ Required average speed
= [P + Q + R] / [(P/x) + (Q/y) + (R/z)] = [9+25 + 30] / [(9/3) + (25/5) + (30/10)]
= 64/(3 + 5 + 3)
= 64/11
= 59/11 km/h
