1. A man travels 20 km on foot at 5 kmph and another 10 km by bus at 20 kmph. What is his average speed?
• a. 5 kmph
• b. 6 kmph
• c. 6.67 kmph
• d. 8 kmph

• Avg speed=Total Distance/Avg speed
  
  on feet=20/5=4
  by bus=10/20=.5
  
  avg speed=30/4.5=6.67 kmph

• d)8kmph
  average speed=(2*x*y)/(x+y)

• sorry avg speed=total distance/avg time..solution remains same

• the formula for average speed is (2*x*y)/(x+y)
  so (2*5kmph*20kmph)/(5kmph+20kmph)
  so avg speed is 8kmph

• Avg speed=Total Distance/Avg speed
  
  speed on feet=20/5=4
  speed by bus=10/20=.5
  hence avg speed is :- 4+.5
  avg speed=30/4.5=6.67 kmph
