Question #3
A truck covers three successive 8 km stretches at uniform speed metrics of 12 km/h, 24 km/h and 24 km/h. Find its net average speed.
A. 22 km/h
B. 18 km/h
C. 16 km/h
D. 20 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance covered = 3 * 8 = 24 km. Total time taken = 8/12 + 8/24 + 8/24 = 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 4/3 hours. Average speed = 24 / (4/3) = 24 * 3 / 4 = 6 * 3 = 18 km/h.
