Answer : 1. "48 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60┬аhour.and for second half is x/40┬аhour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken. ┬а i.e.┬а2xx60+x40 ┬а =>┬а2x5x120 ┬а = 48 kmph.
