Detailed Solution

The average velocity of the body during the whole journey is

24 m / s

.
Let the total distance be

2 x

.
For first half distance

Speed = 20 m / s

Thus, time taken

t_{1} = \frac{x}{20}

For second half distance:

Speed = 30 m / s

Thus, time taken

t_{2} = \frac{x}{30}

Average velocity,

V_{avg} = \frac{2 x}{t_{1} + t_{2}}

\Rightarrow V_{avg} = \frac{2 x}{\frac{x}{20} + \frac{x}{30}}

⇒

V_{avg} = \frac{2 \times 20 \times 30}{20 + 30}

⇒

V_{avg} = 24 m / s
