Answer:
Letx consider, x= total distance covered by the car,
Time taken to complete the half distance with velocity v=40km/h,
t
1
=
2×40
x
=
80
x
hr. . . . .(1)
The time taken to complete another half distance with velocity u=60km/h
t
2
=
2×60
x
=
120
x
hr
The total time taken, t=t
1
+t
2
t=
80
x

The average speed of the car,
v
avg
=
x/48
