Correct Answer: 100 km
Solution : Total time taken = 5 hours Speed to go from A to B = 60 km/hr Speed to go from B to A = 30 km/hr we know that, Average speed = $\frac{\text{2 × (Speed to go to A to B) × (Speed to go to B to A)}}{\text{(Speed to go to A to B) + (Speed to go to B to A)}}$ = $\frac{2\times60\times30}{60+30}$ = $\frac{3600}{90}=40$ km/hr Average speed = 40 km/hr Now, Distance = Speed × time = 40 × 5 = 200 The total distance from A to B and B to A is 200 km. Thus, distance From A to B = $\frac{200}{2}=100$ Hence, the correct answer is 100 km.
