A person covers a distance of 100 km at 25 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person covers a distance of 100 km at 25 km/h and another 150 km at 50 km/h. Find his average speed for the whole journey.
A. 37.50 km/h
B. 35.5 km/h
C. 35.71 km/h
D. 38.25 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Total distance = 100 + 150 = 250 km. Total time taken = 100/25 + 150/50 = 4 + 3 = 7 hours. Average speed = 250 / 7 = 35.71 km/h.

A. 3:4
B. 16:9
C. 4:3
D. 9:16

Correct Answer: Option C
