Option 2 : Quantity 1 < Quantity 2
Quantity 1:
Average speed = total distance/ total time
Total distance = 32 + 80 + 56 = 168 km
Total time = (32/4) + (80/8) + (56/7) = 26
Average speed of journey travelled = 168/26 = 6.46
Average speed of journey is 6.46 km/h
Quantity 2:
Speed of journey = 20 km/h
But it returns at a 30% less speed
Speed on return travelling = 70% of 20 = 14
If the distance covered is the same in both journeys then the average speed is given by,
Average speed of journey = (2 × 20 × 14) / (14 + 20) = 16.47
The average speed of the journey is 16.47 km/hr
From the above solution,
The relation between Quantity 1 < Quantity 2 is established.
