The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will calculate the average speed for both quantities step by step. ### Quantity I: A man travels the first 160 km at a speed of 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at a speed of 80 km/hr. We need to find the average speed for the entire journey. 1. **Calculate the total distance:** \[ \text{Total Distance} = 160 \text{ km} + 160 \text{ km} = 320 \text{ km} \] 2. **Calculate the time taken for the first part of the journey:** \[ \text{Time}_1 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{160 \text{ km}}{64 \text{ km/hr}} = 2.5 \text{ hours} \] 3. **Calculate the time taken for the second part of the journey:** \[ \text{Time}_2 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{160 \text{ km}}{80 \text{ km/hr}} = 2 \text{ hours} \] 4. **Calculate the total time taken:** \[ \text{Total Time} = \text{Time}_1 + \text{Time}_2 = 2.5 \text{ hours} + 2 \text{ hours} = 4.5 \text{ hours} \] 5. **Calculate the average speed:** \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{320 \text{ km}}{4.5 \text{ hours}} \approx 71.11 \text{ km/hr} \] ### Quantity II: A goes from P to Q at a speed of 60 km/hr and returns back at a speed of 90 km/hr. We need to find the average speed for the round trip. 1. **Let the distance from P to Q be \(d\) km.** 2. **Calculate the time taken to go from P to Q:** \[ \text{Time}_{PQ} = \frac{d}{60} \text{ hours} \] 3. **Calculate the time taken to return from Q to P:** \[ \text{Time}_{QP} = \frac{d}{90} \text{ hours} \] 4. **Calculate the total time taken for the round trip:** \[ \text{Total Time} = \text{Time}_{PQ} + \text{Time}_{QP} = \frac{d}{60} + \frac{d}{90} \] To add these fractions, we find a common denominator (which is 180): \[ \text{Total Time} = \frac{3d}{180} + \frac{2d}{180} = \frac{5d}{180} = \frac{d}{36} \text{ hours} \] 5. **Calculate the total distance for the round trip:** \[ \text{Total Distance} = d + d = 2d \text{ km} \] 6. **Calculate the average speed:** \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{2d}{\frac{d}{36}} = 2d \times \frac{36}{d} = 72 \text{ km/hr} \] ### Conclusion: - **Quantity I Average Speed:** 71.11 km/hr - **Quantity II Average Speed:** 72 km/hr ### Comparison: Since 72 km/hr (Quantity II) is greater than 71.11 km/hr (Quantity I), we conclude that: **Quantity II is greater than Quantity I.** ---

To solve the problem, we will calculate the average speed for both quantities step by step. ### Quantity I: A man travels the first 160 km at a speed of 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at a speed of 80 km/hr. We need to find the average speed for the entire journey. 1. **Calculate the total distance:** \[ \text{Total Distance} = 160 \text{ km} + 160 \text{ km} = 320 \text{ km} ...
