  • Question
  • The ratio of speeds of a car, a train and a bus is 5:9:4. The average speed of the car, the bus and the train is 72 km/hr together. What is the average speed of the car and the train together ?


  • Options
  • A. 84 km/hr
  • B. 96 km/hr
  • C. 72 km/hr
  • D. 60 km/hr

  • Correct Answer
  • 84 km/hr 

    Explanation

    Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.
    Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.
    Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hr
    Therefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5 x + 9 x 2 = 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.
