Correct Answer: 24 km/hr
Solution : Given: Distance to be travelled = 30km Speed A = 30km/hr, Speed B = 20km/hr
When the distance is constant, then the average speed = $\frac{2 × Speed A × Speed B}{Speed A + Speed B}$ = $\frac{2 × 30 × 20}{30 + 20}$ = $\frac{1200}{50}$ = 24 km/hr
So, the average speed of the man is 24km/hr. Hence, the second option is correct.
