A car driver travels from the plains to the hill station, which are 200 km apart, at an average speed of 40 km/h. In the return trip, he covers the same distance at an average speed of 20 km/h. The average speed of the car over the entire distance of 400 km is
Time taken when he travels at 40 km/hr = $$\frac{200}{40}=5$$ hours
and time taken travelling at 20 km/hr = $$\frac{200}{20}=10$$ hours
=> Total time = 15 hours
$$\therefore$$ Average speed = $$\frac{400}{15}=26.67$$ km/hr
=> Ans - (C)
