Suresh covers a distance by a cycle at 10 km/h. He returns to the starting point in a car at a speed of 50 km/h. Find the average speed for the entire journey.

Solution

Correct Option: 2

For equal distances, average speed = 2ab/(a+b). Here a = 10 and b = 50, giving 2 x 10 x 50 / 60 = 1000/60 = 16.66 km/h.
