A) 48 kmph B) 50 kmph
C) 46 kmph D) 42 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48 kmph

we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken
let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.

 

i.e. 2xx60+x40

 

=> 2x5x120

 

= 48 kmph.
