Question

In the first half of the journey a bus travelled with an average speed of 20 km/hr. If the given average speed for the complete trip made by the bus is 24 km/hr, then calculate the average speed covered by the bus in the second half of the trip.

hintHint:

Let the distance of entire journey is D
Distance in half journey = D/2
Let the time taken by bus to cover the 2nd half of the journey be x kmph .
By using Time = (distance )/ Avg. speed
Find the total time ,and time covered in 1st half and time covered in 2nd half
We know total time = time covered in 1st half + time covered in 2nd half

The correct answer is: 30kmph.


    Ans :-  The average speed covered by bus in the second half of the journey = 30kmph.
    Explanation :-
    Avg. Speed in 1 st half of journey is 20kmph
    Avg. Speed in entire journey is 24 Kmph
    Let the time taken by bus to cover the 2nd half of the journey be x kmph .
    Step 1:- Find the total time ,and time covered in 1st half and time covered in 2nd half.
    T o t a l space t i m e space t a k e n space equals space left parenthesis t o t a l space d i s tan c e space o f space e n t i r e space j o u r n e y space right parenthesis divided by left parenthesis A v g. s p e e d space o f space e n t i r e space j o u r n e y right parenthesis
    T o t a l space t i m e space t a k e n spaceD over 24
    t i m e space t a k e n space i n space 1 s t space h a l f equals left parenthesis d i s tan c e space o f space 1 s t space h a l f space j o u r n e y space right parenthesis divided by left parenthesis A v g. s p e e d space o f space 1 s t space j o u r n e y right parenthesis space
    T o t a l space t i m e space t a k e n space = fraction numerator D divided by 2 over denominator 20 end fraction equals D over 40
    t i m e space t a k e n space i n space 2 n d space h a l f space equals left parenthesis d i s tan c e space o f space 2 n d space h a l f space j o u r n e y space right parenthesis divided by left parenthesis A v g. s p e e d space o f space 2 n d space j o u r n e y right parenthesis space
    T o t a l space t i m e space t a k e n space = fraction numerator D divided by 2 over denominator x end fraction equals fraction numerator D over denominator 2 x end fraction
    Step 2:- Equating total time taken in journey.
    Total time = time covered in 1st half + time covered in 2nd half
    D over 24 equals D over 40 plus fraction numerator D over denominator 2 x end fraction not stretchy rightwards double arrow 1 over 12 equals 1 over 20 plus 1 over x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 1 over 12 minus 1 over 20 equals 1 over x not stretchy rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 20 minus 12 over denominator 240 end fraction equals 1 over x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow I over x equals 8 over 240 not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals 240 divided by 8
    therefore space x space equals space 30
    ∴The average speed covered by bus in the second half of the journey = 30kmph.

    Note:
    After finding the equation y = 2x + 3 , we can verify it by putting the third point in the equation and check if it lies on the line, that is, the third point which is  left parenthesis 4 comma 11 right parenthesis lies on y equals h left parenthesis x right parenthesis
    11 equals 2.4 plus 3
    So, the equation  h left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 2 x plus 3 is the graph of y equals h left parenthesis x right parenthesis.

    The gas mileage M (s), in miles per gallon, of a car traveling s miles per hour is modeled by the function below, where  20 less or equal than s less or equal than 75.
    M left parenthesis s right parenthesis equals negative 1 over 24 s squared plus 4 s minus 50
    According to the model, at what speed, in miles per hour, does the car obtain its greatest gas mileage?

    Note:
    We could have also used the first derivative test to find the local
    maxima. We need to find critical points and then check whether the
    function is increasing or decreasing on either side of the critical
    point. If the function is increasing , i. e M to the power of straight prime left parenthesis S right parenthesis greater than 0.,  on the left side
    and the function is decreasing, i. e M to the power of straight prime left parenthesis s right parenthesis less than 0.,  on the right hand side, then we say that  is a local maxima.
