Murali travelled from city A to city B at a speed of 40 kmph and from city B to city C at 60 kmph. What is the average speed of Murali from A to C given that the ratio of distances between A to B and B to C is 3 : 3?  Choices:
A) 16 B) 48 C) 277 D) 92 E) 11
Let the distances between city A to B and B to C be 3x km and 3x km respectively.   Total time taken to cover from A to C   = (3x)/40 + (3x)/60 = (9x + 6x)/120 = 15x/120 = x/8 Average speed = (3x + 3x)/(x/8) = 48 kmph.   Answer:48
