A drives for 2 hours, 2.5 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours and 2.5 hours in five days of a week, respectively. His speeds on these days are 45km/h, 50km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h and 80km/h, respectively. What is his average speed for the week?

  1. A
    68.02 km/h
  2. B
    60.8 km/h
  3. C
    61.25 km/h
  4. D
    64.08 km/h

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Average speed is calculated as the total distance divided by the total time.
Total Time=2+2.5+3+2+2.5=12hours
Now, find the distance traveled on each day (Distance=Speed×Time):

Day 1: 45×2=90km

Day 2: 50×2.5=125km

Day 3: 60×3=180km

Day 4: 70×2=140km

Day 5: 80×2.5=200km

Total Distance=90+125+180+140+200=735km
Average Speed=
