    A train travels at a speed of 60 km/h for 0.5 h, 24 km/h for next 0.25 h and then at 72 km/h for the next 0.75 h. Calculate the distance travelled by train and its average speed.

    Answer:

                    Total time= 0.5 h + 0.25 h + 0.75 h = 1.5 h    Total distance \[={{\upsilon }_{1}}{{t}_{1}}+{{\upsilon }_{2}}{{t}_{2}}+{{\upsilon }_{3}}{{t}_{3}}\] = (60) (0.5) + (24) (0.25) +(72) (0.75) = 90 km                                                             Average speed \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Total}\,\text{distance}}{\text{Total}\,\text{time}}\text{=}\frac{\text{90}\,\text{km}}{\text{1}\text{.5h}}\text{=60km/h}\]
