40 km/h
B
50 km/h
C
36 km/h
D
55 km/h
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given,

Velocity for one third of distance V1=20km/h

Velocity for two third of distance V2=60km/h

Time take to cover one third of distance t1=d/3V1=d/320

Time taken to cover two third of distance t2=2d/3V2=2d/360

Average velocity =Totaldistancetotaltime

Vav=dt1+t2=dd/320+2d/360=36km/h
