    A car running with a speed of 52 km/hr takes 4 hours to

    go from 'A' to 'B'. If on the way back from 'B' to 'A', the car takes 20% less time than it takes while going from 'A' to 'B', then find the approximate average speed of the car during the whole journey
    A 47.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 57.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 67.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance covered by the car in 4 hours = 52 x 4 = 208 km Time taken by the car in the return journey = 0.80 x 4 = 3.2 hours Average speed = Total distance covered ÷ Total time taken Average speed of the car = (208 x 2) ÷ (4 + 3.2) ~ 57.8 km/h
