Correct Answer: 48 km/h
Solution :
Given: A car travels from A to B at the rate of $x$ = 40 km/h and returns from B to A at $y$ = 60 km/h.
The car's average speed is calculated using the formula, $\frac{2xy}{x+y}$.
Average speed = $\frac{2\times 40 \times 60}{40+60}=\frac{4800}{100}$
= 48 km/h
Hence, the correct answer is 48 km/h.
