A person travels from x to y at a speed of 40Km/h and returns by increasing his speed 50%. What is his average speed for both the trips?

A. 36km/h
B. 45km/h
C. 48km/h
D. 50km/h
Explanation:
Speed of person from x to y =40 km/h
Speed of person from y to x =(40×150)/100 = 60km/h
Since the distance travelled is same
Therefore, Average Speed = (2x40x60)/40+60 = 48km/h
