Question
A body begins to walk eastward along a street in front of his house and the graph of his position from home is shown in the following figure. His average speed for the whole time interval is equal to
The correct answer is:
Average speed is the ratio of distance to time taken
Distance travelled from 
to 
Distance travelled from 
to 
Distance travelled from 
to 
Distance travelled from 
to 
So, total distance 
Total time taken 
Hence, average speed
