What is the Menon’s Average Speed? If
Town A and town B were 600 km apart. Joshua left town A for town B and travelled at an average speed of 65 km/h. At the same time, Menon left town B for town A. The two of them met 5 hours later. Find Menon’s average speed.
- 55 km/h
- 60 km/h
- 65 km/h
- 120 km/h
Answer: (1) 55 km/h
Explanation:-
Let be the average speed of Menon = X km/h
Total distance = 600 km
The average speed of Joshua = 65 km/ h
Formula –
Average speed = Total distance / total speed
According to the question,
600/(65 + X) = 5
600 = 325 + 5X
5X = 600 – 325
5X = 275
X = 275/5
X = 55 km/h
Hence, the answer is (1) 55 km/h.
