A bus runs at 40 km/h for 2 hours and 50 km/h for the next 3 hours. Find the average speed of the bus for the total journey.
A. 47 km/h
B. 45 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 46 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Distance 1 = 40 * 2 = 80 km. Distance 2 = 50 * 3 = 150 km. Total distance = 230 km. Total time = 2 + 3 = 5 hours. Average speed = 230 / 5 = 46 km/h.

Question #3
A person covers 1/3 of a distance at 15 km/h, 1/3 at 30 km/h and the last 1/3 at 60 km/h. Find the average speed.
A. 25.71 km/h
B. 30 km/h
C. 28 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let each third of the distance be 60 km. Total distance = 180 km. Total time taken = 60/15 + 60/30 + 60/60 = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 hours. Average speed = 180 / 7 = 25.71 km/h.
