Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Average speed :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{2 \times 500 \times 700}}{{500 + 700}}} \right){\text{ km/hr}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{1750}}{3}} \right){\text{ km/hr}} \cr & {\text{ = }}583\frac{1}{3}{\text{ km/hr}} \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{2 \times 500 \times 700}}{{500 + 700}}} \right){\text{ km/hr}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{{1750}}{3}} \right){\text{ km/hr}} \cr & {\text{ = }}583\frac{1}{3}{\text{ km/hr}} \cr} $$
