A car covers a distance from town A to town B at the speed of 58 km/h and covers the distance from town B to town A at the speed of 52 km/ h. What is the Approximate average speed of the car?
Correct Answer: 55 km/h
Explanation:
We know that, if two equal distances are covered at two different speeds A and B, then
Average speed = 2AB/(A + B) = (2 x 58 x 52)/(58 + 52)
= 54.8 km/h
= 55 km/h (Approx)
