Average rate –from starting point to railway station = distance / speed of upward journey = 150 /3 1/3 = 45 km/hour
Average rate for return from railway station to starting place = distance / speed of downward journey = 150/ 4 1/6 = 36 km/hour
Total distance combining upward and return journeys = 300 km
Average rate ‘A' = Total Distance / (Speed of Upward Journey + Speed of Return Journey) = 300 /( 3 1/3 + 4 1/6 )
= 40 km.
So the average rate for trip of going to the railway station exceeds A by 45-40 = 5 km
