A man travels from P to Q at a speed of 50 km/h and then from Q to R at a speed of 60 km/h, where Q is between P and R. The ratio of distances PQ and QR is 1 : 2. He travels from R to P at a speed of 45 km/h. What is his average speed (in km/h) for the whole journey?

  • A48
  • B52
  • C54
  • D50
Correct answer: D

Explanation

Let PQ = d, QR = 2d, RP = 3d. Time = d/50 + 2d/60 + 3d/45 = 0.12d. Total distance = 6d, so the average speed = 6d / 0.12d = 50 km/h.
