    A car moves 300 km at a speed of 45 kmph and then it increases its speed to 60 kmph to travel another 500 km. Find average speed of car.

    A)  \[47\frac{1}{3}\,kmph\]                    

    B)  \[27\frac{1}{3}\,kmph\]

    C)  \[53\frac{1}{3}\,kmph\]        

    D)           \[62\frac{1}{3}kmph\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

        Total distance covered = 300 + 500 = 800 km. Total time taken to cover 800 km \[=\frac{300}{45}+\frac{500}{60}=\frac{20}{3}+\frac{25}{3}\,=\frac{45}{3}\,=15hr\]. \[\therefore \] Average speed \[=\frac{800}{15}=\frac{160}{3}\] \[=53\frac{1}{3}\,kmph\]
