    One third of a certain journey is covered at the rate of 25 km/ hour. One-fourth at the rate of 30 km/hour and the rest at 50 km/ hour. The average speed for the whole journey is

    A)  35 km/hour                  

    B)  \[33\frac{1}{3}\] km/hour

    C)  30 km/hour      

    D)         \[37\frac{1}{12}\] km/hour

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let the total distance be \[x\] km. Total time\[\begin{align}   & \,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{x\,}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{x\,}\,\,\,\,\,\,\underline{5x} \\  & =\frac{3}{25}+\frac{4}{30}+\frac{12}{50} \\ \end{align}\] \[=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{x}{120}+\frac{x}{120}\] \[=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{x}{60}=\frac{4x+5x}{300}=\frac{3x}{100}\] hours \[\therefore \] Average speed \[=\frac{Total\,\,dis\tan ce}{Time\,\,taken}\] \[=\frac{x}{\frac{3x}{100}}=\frac{100}{3}=33\frac{1}{3}\] kmp
