A) \[\frac{3}{8}m{{s}^{-1}}\]
B) \[\frac{8}{3}m{{s}^{-1}}\]
C) \[\frac{4}{3}m{{s}^{-1}}\]
D) \[\frac{16}{3}m{{s}^{-1}}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Let the total distance travelled by the body is 25. If\[{{t}_{1}}\]is the time taken by the body to travel first half of the distance, then \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{S}{2}\] Let\[{{t}_{2}}\]be the time taken by the body for each time interval for the remaining half journey. \[\therefore \] \[S=3{{t}_{2}}+5{{t}_{2}}=8{{t}_{2}}\] So, average speed\[\text{=}\frac{\text{Total}\,\,\text{distance}\,\,\text{travelled}}{\text{Total}\,\,\text{timetaken}}\] \[=\frac{2S}{{{t}_{1}}+2{{t}_{2}}}\] \[=\frac{2S}{\frac{S}{2}+\frac{S}{4}}\] \[=\frac{8}{3}m{{s}^{-1}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
