Hey mate
Your question's explanation can be given by taking a simple example...
Let's say a body moves 10m right and then 10m left (comes back to original position) in let's say 10 seconds
So AVG speed will be = total distance/total time
which will be 10+10/10 = 2m/s
but AVG velocity = total displacement/total time
look carefully displacement is zero...as body has come back to its original position...means final position - initial position = 0
so AVG velocity will be ZERO
Hope you understand
Thanks
