The ratio of the speeds of a car, a jeeps and a tractor is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the jeep is 250 per cent of the speed of the tractor and tractor covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of car and jeep together?

Correct Answer: 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of tractor = 360/12 = 30 kmph


Speed of jeep = 250 x 30/100 = 75 kmph


But, given ratio of speed of car, jeep and tractor is 3 : 5 : 2


Speed of car = 3 x 75/5 = 45 kmph


 


Required, average speed of car and jeep = 75 + 45/2 = 60 kmph.
