How can we find the average speed of a journey when one-fourth of the journey is travelled by a particular velocity and remaining journey by another velocity?
let total distance=x
let velocity for x/4 distance=V1
let velocity for another 3x/4 distance=V2
time taken in covering x/4 distance=x/4V1
time taken in covering 3x/4 distance=3x/4V2
average speed=total distance/total time taken
=x/(x/4V1+3x/4V2)
