Option 5 : All three statements together sufficient to answer
From statement I, II, and III,
Let the distances to be covered from P to Q and Q to R be 3x and 4x respectively.
⇒ Total distance covered = 3x + 4x = 7x
Average speed = (Total distance)/(Total time)
⇒ 7x/7 = 20
⇒ x = 20 km
Now, distance travelled from city P to city Q = 3x = 60 km
Let the time of this journey be ‘t’
⇒ 60/t = 20
⇒ t = 3 hours
Thus, time taken for a journey from city Q to city R = 7 – 3 = 4 hours
Distance travelled in this journey = 4x = 80 km
⇒ Average speed on the journey from city Q to city R = 80/4 = 20 km/hr
∴ Statement I, II and III are together sufficient
