Question

    A boy goes to school with a speed of 50 km/h and comes

    D 56.25 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 45.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since the distance travelled by a boy (going to school and coming back from school) is equal. So, average speed = 2xy/(x + y) Average speed = (2 x 50 x 30)/(50 + 30) Average speed = (2 x 50 x 30)/80 = 37.5 km/hr
