    A man covers one-third of his journey at 30 km/h and the remaining two-third at 45 km/h. If the total journey is of 150 km, what is the average speed for whole journey?

    A) 30 km/h

    B)  35 km/h

    C)  36 km/h

    D)  \[38\frac{4}{7}\text{km/h}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{3}\]rd of journey \[=\frac{150}{3}=50\,\,\text{km}\]
    Remaining \[\frac{2}{3}\]rd journey \[({{t}_{1}})=150-50=100\,\,\text{km}\]
    Time taken in\[\frac{1}{3}\]rd Journey \[({{t}_{2}})=\frac{100}{45}=\frac{20}{9}\,\,\text{h}\]
    Total time taken in whole journey
    \[={{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}=\frac{5}{3}+\frac{20}{9}=\frac{35}{9}\,\,\text{h}\]
    Average speed \[=\frac{150}{\frac{35}{9}}=\frac{150\times 9}{35}=\frac{270}{7}=38\frac{4}{7}\,\,\text{km/h}\]
