We know that, Speed=Distance / time .°. Time =dist / speed Let's see the first case, s = distance = 30 km v = speed = 40 km/hr t = time = 30 / 40 =3/4 hrs Let's see the second case, s = 30 km v = 20 km/hr t = 30 / 20 t = 3/2 hrs Avg. Speed =Total distance/ Total time =(30 + 30) / (3/4) + (3/2) =60 / ( 3 + 6 ) /4 =60 / 9 × 4 =20 / 3 × 4 =80 / 3 =26.67 ( Approx. ) Hence, Average speed of the car is 26.67 km/hrs ( Approx).

Given that ,
    1st 30 km uniform speed is (u1) = 40 km/h
     2nd 30 km uniform speed is ( u2 ) = 20 km/h
     total distance ( d ) = 30 + 30 = 60 km
     time taken in 1st time = d / t = 30/40 also, 3h / 4 = 180/4 = 45 min
     time taken in 2nd time = d/t = 30/20 also, 3h/2 = 180/2 = 90 min
    total time = 45 + 90 = 135 min = 135/60 h
average speed = 60/135/60 = 60 * 60 /135 = 26.66 km/h
