This questions was previously asked in

SSC CHSL 1st June 2022 Shift-1

10.8 km/h

11.8 km/h

11.4 km/h

10 km/h

- To determine the average speed, we need the total distance and the total time.

- Total distance covered: \(10 + 12 = 22\) kilometers.

- Time taken for the first part: \( \frac{10}{12} \approx 0.833\) hours.

- Time taken for the second part: \( \frac{12}{10} = 1.2\) hours.

- Total time taken: \(0.833 + 1.2 = 2.033\) hours.

- Average speed is total distance divided by total time:

\(\frac{22 \text{ km}}{2.033 \text{ hours}} \approx 10.82 \text{ km/h}\).

Correct Answer: Option 1- 10.8 km/h.
