A car travels from A to B at a speed of ...

A car travels from A to B at a speed of `20 km//hr` and returns at a speed of `30 km//hr`. The average speed of the car for the whole journey is

`5km h^(-1)`

`24 kmh^(-1)`

`25 km h^(-1)`

`50 km h^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Average velocity `= (2 xx 20 xx 30)/(20 + 30) = 24km h^(-1)`
