Yaseen was travelling from City A to City B. He travelled the first one-fifth of the distance at 10 km/h, and the next three-twentieth of the distance at 15 km/h. Of the remaining distance, he travelled one part at 20 km/h and the rest of the distance at 12 km/h. If the average speed of Yaseen for the entire trip was 16 km/h, what part of the entire trip did Yaseen cover at 20 km/h?

If the average speed of Yaseen for the entire trip was 16 km/h, what part of the entire trip did Yaseen cover at 20 km/h?
Solution
Let the total distance from City A to City B be km.
First part: at 10 km/h
Second part: at 15 km/h
Distance covered in first two parts:
Remaining distance:
Let Yaseen cover a fraction of the total distance at 20 km/h.
Then the rest at 12 km/h would be:
Time for first part:
Time for second part:
Time for third part (at 20 km/h):
Time for fourth part (at 12 km/h):
Using the average speed formula:
Dividing both sides by :
Simplifying the left side:
Substituting back:
Converting to common denominator (1200):
Therefore, Yaseen covered of the entire trip at 20 km/h.
