A car travels from city A to city B at an average speed of 50 km/h and returns at an average speed of 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the entire trip?
A. 54 km/h
B. 55 km/h
C. 56 km/h
D. 57 km/h
Correct Answer: A The average speed for the entire trip is the total distance divided by the total time. Let the distance between the cities be x. The time taken to travel from A to B is x/50, and the time taken to travel from B to A is x/60. The total time is x/50 + x/60 = (6x + 5x)/300 = 11x/300. The average speed is 2x / (11x/300) = 600/11 = 54.55 km/h, which is approximately 54 km/h.

A car travels from city A to city B at an average speed of 60 km/h and returns at an average speed of 40 km/h. What is the average speed of the car for the entire trip?
A. 45 km/h
B. 48 km/h
C. 50 km/h
D. 55 km/h
Correct Answer: B To find the average speed for the entire trip, we need to find the total distance and the total time. Let's assume the distance from city A to city B is x km. The time taken to travel from A to B is x/60 hours, and the time taken to return is x/40 hours. The total time is x/60 + x/40 hours. The total distance is 2x km. The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time, which is 2x / (x/60 + x/40). To add the fractions in the denominator, we need a common denominator, which is 120. So, the average speed is 2x / (2x/120 + 3x/120) = 2x / (5x/120) = 2x * 120 / 5x = 240 / 5 = 48 km/h.
