Correct Answer: 46.32 km/h
Solution : Average Speed = 2$\frac{S_1×S_2}{S_1+S_2}$ for two speeds $S_1$ and $S_2$ if distance is same. According to the question $S_1$ = 40 km/h (speed from A to B), $S_2$ = 55 km/h (speed from B to A). ⇒ Average Speed = $\frac{2×40×55}{40+55}$ = $\frac{400}{95}$ = 46.32 Hence the correct answer is 46.32 km/h
