Detailed Solution

Total distance covered by the car = 100 meters + 80 meters = 180 meters
Total Time taken = 4 seconds + 2 seconds = 6 seconds
Average speed=?

Average speed = Total distance coveredTotal time taken

Substituting the values in the equation, 
Average speed = 1806= 30 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the car will be 30 m/s.
