If a body covers one-third of its total distance at speed $v_1$,the next one-third at speed $v_2$,and the last one-third at speed $v_3$,then the average speed will be:

  • A
    $\frac{v_1 v_2 + v_2 v_3 + v_3 v_1}{v_1 + v_2 + v_3}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2 + v_3}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_1 v_2 v_3}{v_1 v_2 + v_2 v_3 + v_3 v_1}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 v_1 v_2 v_3}{v_1 v_2 + v_2 v_3 + v_3 v_1}$
