A man covers a total distance of 100 km on bicycle. For the first 2 hours, the speed was 20 km/hr and for the rest of the journey, it came down to 10
km/hr.The average speed will be
Total distance covered = 100 km
Speed for first 2 hours = 20 km/hr
=> Distance covered = $$2 \times 20=40$$ km
Distance left = $$100-40=60$$ km
Speed for remaining journey = 10 km/hr
=> Time taken for rest of the journey = $$\frac{60}{10}=6$$ hours
Thus, total time taken =Â $$2+6=8$$ hours
$$\therefore$$ Average speed = total distance / total time
= $$\frac{100}{8}=\frac{25}{2}=12\frac{1}{2}$$ km/hr
=> Ans - (A)
