A car travels half of the distance with speed of 54km/h. what would be the speed for second half to get the average speed of 90km /h for whole journey.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "d = 1/2 the distance
\n" ); document.write( "r = speed of 2nd half
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d/54 + d/r = 2d/90 = d/45
\n" ); document.write( "1/54 + 1/r = 1/45
\n" ); document.write( "(r+54)/54r = 1/45
\n" ); document.write( "r+54 = 54r/45 = 6r/5
\n" ); document.write( "5r + 270 = 6r
\n" ); document.write( "r = 270 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "===========
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "Avg speed = 2*54*270/(54+270) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
