CTS Company Numerical Ability Time Distance and Speed

You drive to the store at 20 mph and return by the same route at 30 mph. Discounting the time spent at the store, what was your average speed?

Read Solution (Total 4)

average speed=total distance/total time
let distance to store be x
then, total time =(x/20)+(x/30)=x/12
and, total time =(2x)
so average speed= 2x/ (x/12)=24kmph

(2((20*30)))/20+30=24
formula 2(speed1*speed2)/speed1+speed2
this is applicable only if the persons travel the same route

Ans = 25mph
Exp = (30mph)+(20mph)/2
50mph/2
=25mph

A) A B) B C) D D) E Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the other travels at 60 miles an hour. A bird starts flight at the same location as the faster train, flying at a speed of 90 miles per hour. When it reaches the slower train, it turns around, flying the other direction at the same speed. When it reaches the faster train again, it turns around -- and so on. When the trains collide?
