The harmonic mean of speeds 30 km/h and 60 km/h for equal distances is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The harmonic mean of speeds 30 km/h and 60 km/h for equal distances is:
A. 45 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 55 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For equal distances, average speed = harmonic mean = 2 / (1/30 + 1/60) = 2 / (2/60 + 1/60) = 2 / (3/60) = 2 × 20 = 40 km/h. Arithmetic mean (45) would be incorrect here.
