  • Q10. If a person travels from point A to point B at 20 km/h and returns at 30 km/h, calculate the average speed without using pen and paper.
  • Ans. 

    The average speed can be calculated by taking the harmonic mean of the two speeds.

    • To calculate the harmonic mean, divide the sum of the speeds by the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals.

    • In this case, the harmonic mean can be calculated as 2/(1/20 + 1/30) = 24 km/h.
