उत्तर

Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house = 9 km

Distance covered by Bholu in the first part of the journey

= 6 km

Time is taken to cover 6 km = 40 min

Distance covered by Bholu in the second part of the journey

= 9 − 6

= 3 km
Time is taken to cover 3 km

= 60 – (40 + 5)

=15 min

Speed of Bholu while covering the second part of the journey = `(3"km")/((15/60)"h")`

= 12 km/h

The average speed of Bholu for the entire journey

= `("Total distance")/("Time taken")`

= `(9"km")/(60 "min")`

= 9 km/h
