A plane flies along the four sides of a square field at a speed of 200, 400, 600 and 800 km/hr. Then find the average speed of plane around the square field.
Correct Answer: 384
Explanation:
Let the side of the square field be x and the average speed of plane be y x/200 + x/400 + x/600 + x/800 = 4x/y
⇒ 25x/2400 = 4x/y
⇒ y =384 ∴ Average speed is 384 km/hr
