from one location to another half the time the speed is 60km/hr and another half is 100km/hr then what it is average speed?
Average speed = total distance/total time.
Let t be the total time and d be the total distance. Then
d = 60*t/2 + 100*t/2
so d = t(30 + 50)
d = t*80
so average speed = d/t = 80 km/hr
If the question were 60km/hr for half the distance and 100 km/hr for the other half distance, then
t = d/(2*60) + d/(2*100)
t = d*(1/120 + 1/200)
t = d/75
so average speed = d/t = 75 km/hr
.
