    A motorcar travels with a speed \[{{v}_{1}}\] from A to B and returns back from B to A with a speed \[{{v}_{2}}\]. The average speed of the car during its journey is

    A) \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}}}{2}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}+{{V}_{2}}}\]           

    D) \[\sqrt{{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let distance between A and B be d.
     \[\therefore \operatorname{Average} speed=\frac{Total distance}{Total time}\]
    \[=\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{{{v}_{1}}}+\frac{d}{{{v}_{2}}}}=\frac{2{{v}_{1}}{{v}_{2}}}{{{v}_{1}}+{{v}_{2}}}\]
