Question #3
A regular passenger bus tracks a route divided into three equal segments. It runs the segments at 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 60 km/h respectively. Find the average speed across the whole route.
A. 35 km/h
B. 40 km/h
C. 25 km/h
D. 30 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let each segment distance be 60 km. Total distance = 3 * 60 = 180 km. Total time = 60/20 + 60/30 + 60/60 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 hours. Average speed = 180 / 6 = 30 km/h.
