A train is going at a speed of 60kmph towards Bangalore from Mumbai and returned back at a speed of 30kmph.
What is its average speed of train?
Answer is 40 km/h.
because for average speed we will use Harmonic mean like
average speed = (2 x 60 x 30) / (60 + 30) = (2 x 60 x 30) / (90) = 40.
If X is the distance between mumbai to banglore then total time is T=X/60 + X/30=X/20 average speed=(total distance)/(total time taken)=2*X/(X/20)=40km/hr
The speed of the train is two more than twice of the time taken to cover 1012 km at uniform speed. What is the ratio of the values of time taken to cover the distance and speed of the train?
