A train travels a distance of at a speed of , at a speed of , and another at a speed of . Find the average speed for the entire journey. (Round off to the nearest integer.)
- A99 km/h
- B105 km/h
- C115 km/h
- D90 km/h
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
To find the average speed of the entire journey, we use the formula:
1. Calculate Total Distance:
2. Calculate Total Time Taken:
* Time taken for the first part ()
* Time taken for the second part ()
* Time taken for the third part ()
Taking LCM of the denominators (), which is :
3. Calculate Average Speed:
Rounding off to the nearest integer gives .
