Answer : 1. "48 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60┬аhour.and for second half is x/40┬аhour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken. ┬а i.e.┬а2xx60+x40 ┬а =>┬а2x5x120 ┬а = 48 kmph.

Answer : 2. "144 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 144 km Explanation: Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journeyDuring the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hrLet 'x' be the distance.Now, speed is given by distance/time.Here the difference between both speeds = 12 ┬аx4┬а-┬аx6┬а=┬а12 ┬а3x┬а-┬а2x12┬а=┬а12 ┬а => x = 144 km ┬а Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.
