Average speed for the whole trip = 75 kph
total journey time for whole trip = 1 hr
Distance covered in whole trip = speed *time
= 75*1
= 75 km
Distance covered in first 20 minutes with speed 80 kph =
=
=
=26.67 km
Remaining distance to be covered = 75-26.67
= 48.33 km
remaining time = 1 hr -20 min = 40 min
= hr
= hr
average speed to be maintained =
=
=
=40 Kph
Result is 40 kph
