RRB NTPC CBT-1 practice question
A car's journey from X to Y is completed in three equal-distance stages. In the second stage, its speed is 60 km/h, and its speeds in the first and third stages are in the ratio 2:3. If the average speed for the entire journey is 30 km/h, find the car's speed during the third stage.

Correct answer: (D) 30 km/h
Let speeds be 2m, 60, and 3m for equal distances. Average speed = 3/(1/2m + 1/60 + 1/3m) = 3/(5/6m + 1/60). Setting this equal to 30: 5/6m + 1/60 = 3/30 = 1/10. So 5/6m = 1/10 - 1/60 = 5/60 = 1/12, giving 6m = 60, m = 10. Speed in third stage = 3m = 30 km/h.
हिंदी में प्रश्न
X से Y तक की एक कार की यात्रा तीन बराबर दूरी वाले चरणों में पूरी होती है। दूसरे चरण में इसकी चाल 60 किमी/घंटा है, तथा पहले और तीसरे चरण की चालों का अनुपात 2:3 है। यदि पूरी यात्रा के लिए औसत चाल 30 किमी/घंटा है, तो तीसरे चरण में कार की चाल ज्ञात कीजिए।

सही उत्तर: (D) 30 किमी/घंटा
मान लीजिए बराबर दूरियों के लिए चालें 2m, 60 और 3m हैं। औसत चाल = 3/(1/2m + 1/60 + 1/3m) = 3/(5/6m + 1/60)। इसे 30 के बराबर रखने पर: 5/6m + 1/60 = 3/30 = 1/10। अतः 5/6m = 1/10 - 1/60 = 5/60 = 1/12, जिससे 6m = 60, m = 10। तीसरे चरण की चाल = 3m = 30 किमी/घंटा।
