A vehicle travels half the distance with speed \(v\) and the remaining distance with speed \(2v.\) Its average speed is:
1. \(\dfrac{3v}{4}\) 2. \(\dfrac{v}{3}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2v}{3}\) 4. \(\dfrac{4v}{3}\)

A person travelling in a straight line moves with a constant velocity \(v_1\) for a certain distance \(x\) and with a constant velocity \(v_2\) for the next equal distance. The average velocity \(v\) is given by the relation:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{v} = \dfrac{1}{v_1}+\dfrac{1}{v_2}\) 2. \(\dfrac{2}{v} = \dfrac{1}{v_1}+\dfrac{1}{v_2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{v}{2} = \dfrac{v_1+v_2}{2}\) 4. \(v = \sqrt{v_1v_2}\)
