let the total distance be 2x
therefore the car travel s first half distance I.e. x with 30 km/hr
time = x/30 hr
the car travel s second half of the distance I.e x with 50km/hr
time = x/50 hr
now,
average speed= total distance travelled/total time taken
= 2x/x/30+ x/50
= 2x/5x+3x/150
= 2x/8x*150
= 150/4
= 37.5km/hr
therefore the car travel s first half distance I.e. x with 30 km/hr
time = x/30 hr
the car travel s second half of the distance I.e x with 50km/hr
time = x/50 hr
now,
average speed= total distance travelled/total time taken
= 2x/x/30+ x/50
= 2x/5x+3x/150
= 2x/8x*150
= 150/4
= 37.5km/hr

time = x/30 hr
the car travel s second half of the distance I.e x with 50km/hr
time = x/50 hr
now,
average speed= total distance travelled/total time taken
= 2x/x/30+ x/50
= 2x/5x+3x/150
= 2x/8x*150
= 1/4*150
=37.5
