HERE'S THE ANSWER..
_____________________________
♠️ Average speed is ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken..
✔️ Avg Speed = Total distance / total time taken
⏺️ Total distance = 100 + 100 = 200 m
⏺️ time 1 = 100 / 5 = 20 seconds
✔️ Time = Distance / speed
⏺️ Time 2 = 100 / 1 = 100 seconds
⏺️ Total time = 100 + 20 = 120 second...
=> Avg Speed = 200 / 120
=> Avg Speed = 5 / 3 m / s
HOPE HELPED...

Here is your solution
️ we know that
Average Speed = Total distance / total time taken
️Total distance = 100 + 100 = 200m
Time 1st = 100/5 = 20s
Time = Distance/speed
Time 2nd = 100/1 = 100s
Total time = 100+20 = 120s
Now,
Average Speed = Total distance /total time
Average speed = 200/120
=>Avg Speed = 5/3m/s
I hope it helps you
