    A person covers half of his journey at 6 km/h and the rest half at the rate of 3 km/h. What is his average speed?

    A) 2 km/h

    B)  3 km/h 

    C)  4 km/h

    D)  5 km/h

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Suppose the speeds are x km/h and y km/h respectively, then the average speed during the journey \[=\frac{2xy}{x+y}\text{km/h}\] So, after putting the value of x and y, we have the average speed \[=\frac{2\times 6\times 3}{6+3}=\frac{36}{9}=4\,\,\text{km/h}\]
