Correct Answer: 60 km/hr
Solution : Time taken by John when he drives 250 km at 50 km/hr = $\frac{250}{50}$ = 5 hr Time taken by John when he drives 350 km at 70 km/hr = $\frac{350}{70}$ = 5 hr Average speed for the whole journey = $\frac{250 + 350}{5 + 5}$ = $\frac{600}{10}$ = 60 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 60 km/hr.
