A man goes to a place in the car at speed of 160 km/h and comes back at a lower speed. If the average speed is 64 km/h in total, then the return speed (in km/h) is:
Let's assume the distance of one side is 'd'.
Let's assume the speed of the car in return time is 'b'.
A man goes to a place in the car at speed of 160 km/h and comes back at a lower speed. If the average speed is 64 km/h.
$$64 =Â \frac{d+d}{\frac{d}{160}+\frac{d}{ b}}$$
$$64=\frac{2d}{\frac{db+d160}{160b}}$$
$$64=\frac{2}{\frac{b+160}{160b}}$$
$$64=\frac{320b}{b+160}$$
$$1=\frac{5b}{b+160}$$
5b =Â b+160
5b-b = 160
4b = 160
speed of the car in return time =Â b = 40 km/h
