One-third of a certain journey is covered at the rate of 25 km/hr, one-fourth at the rate of 30 km/hr and the rest at 50 km/hr. Find the average speed for the whole journey?
Explanation
Let the total journeybe x km. Then km at the speed of 25 km/hr and km at 30 km/hr and the rest distance
at the speed of 50 km/hr.
Total time taken during the journey of x km
(Expand the fraction to get the least common denominator)
∴ Average speed = km/hr
Hence, Option A is correct.
