2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
An object moves with speed $v_1, v_2$, and $v_3$ along a line segment $A B, B C$ and $C D$ respectively as shown in figure. Where $AB = BC$ and $AD =3 AB$, then average speed of the object will be :

A
$\frac{\left(v_1+v_2+v_3\right)}{3}$
B
$\frac{v_1 v_2 v_3}{3\left(v_1 v_2+v_2 v_3+v_3 v_1\right)}$
C
$\frac{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}{v_1 v_2+v_2 v_3+v_3 v_1}$
D
$\frac{\left(v_1+v_2+v_3\right)}{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}$

Solution
$AB =x$
$BC =x$
$2 x+ CD =3 x$
$CD =x$
$\ < v > =\frac{3 x}{\frac{x}{v_1}+\frac{x}{v_2}+\frac{x}{v_3}}=\frac{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}{v_2 v_3+v_1 v_3+v_1 v_2}$
