Suppose total length of the straight line (d) = (x) km.

Now, The first half (x/2 km) is travelled with 40km/h and aother half (x/2 km) is travelled with 60km/h velocity.

So, for the first half time (t1) = distance/velocity.

t1 = (x/2)/40 hours.

And, for the second half time (t2) = distance/velocity.

t2 = (x/2)/60 hours.

So total time taken (T) = t1 + t2

(T) = (x/2)/40 + (x/2)60 hours.

(T) = x/80 + x/120 hours.

(T) = (3x + 2x)/240 = 5x/240 hours.

(T) = x/48 hours.

Now, Average Velocity (v) = d/T

v = x/(x/48)

v = 48x/x

v = 48 km/h.....●..ans.
