GIVEN:

Ram covered 60 km in a bus in 50 min. after deboarding the bus, he took rest for 5 min. There after he took a taxi to his home 30 km away and reached in 20 min.

CONCEPT:

Basic concept of time speed and distance.

FORMULA USED:

Average speed = Total distance/Total time taken

CALCULATION:

Total distance = 60 + 30 = 90 km

Total time taken = 50 + 5 + 20 = 75 min = 5/4 hr

Hence,

Average speed = 90/(5/4) = 72 km/h
