Detailed Solution

Let the total time ‘t’ hr

First half time t/2 hr
Second half time t/2 hr
Distance travelled by a car first half time,  velocity=distancetimeS1=v1t1=50t2=25tkm
 Similarly  S2=v2t2=60×t2=30tkm
 Average speed   =S1+S2t=25t+30tt=55tt=55km/hr

conversion:  1km=1000 meter

                    1hour=60x60 second
Average speed  =55×100060×60=15.3m/s
