Q.62Easy
If a train travels at an average speed of 72 km/h for 5 hours and then at 60 km/h for 3 hours, what is the average speed for the entire journey?
Answer: B
Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. We must find both quantities separately, then apply the formula.
Step 1: Calculate distance for the first part of the journey
Distance = Speed × Time
D1=72 km/h×5 h=360 km
Step 2: Calculate distance for the second part of the journey
D2=60 km/h×3 h=180 km
Step 3: Find total distance and total time
Dtotal=D1+D2=360+180=540 km
Ttotal=5+3=8 h
Step 4: Calculate average speed
Average Speed=TtotalDtotal=8540=67.5 km/h
**Answer: The average speed for the entire journey is 67.5 km/h (Option B)**
