    A man covers half of his journey at 6 km/h and the remaining half at 3 km/h. His average speed is

    A) 9 km/h

    B)  4.5 km/h

    C)  4 km/h

    D)  3 km/h

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the same distances are covered at different speeds of x km/h and y km/h, the average speed of the whole journey is given by\[=\frac{2xy}{x+y}\,\,\text{km/h}\text{.}\] \[\therefore \] Required average speed \[=\frac{2\times 6\times 3}{6+3}=\frac{36}{9}=4\,\,\text{km/h}\]
