A cyclist rides from town A to town B, which is 60 km away, at a speed of 15 km/h.
A cyclist rides from town A to town B, which is 60 km away, at a speed of 15 km/h. After reaching town B, the cyclist immediately turns back and rides towards town A at a speed of 10 km/h. What is the cyclist’s average speed for the entire journey?
एक साइकिल चालक शहर A से शहर B तक 15 किमी/ घंटा की गति से जाता है, जो 60 किमी दूर हैं। शहर B पहुँचने के बाद, साइकिल चालक तुरंत वापस मुड़ता है और 10 किमी/ घंटा की गति से शहर A की ओर जाता हैं। पूरी यात्रा के दौरान साइकिल चालक की औसत गति क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
12 km/h / किमी / घंटा
- Total distance = 60+60=120 Km
- Time from A to B =60/15 = 4 hrs
- Time from B to A =60/10 =6 hrs
Total Time = 4+6=10 hrs
Average speed = 120/10 = 12 km/hr
Ans: 12 km/hr
