Correct Answer: 96 km/h
Solution : Distance between Delhi and Jaipur = 360 km The speed of the car ($x$) from Delhi and Jaipur = 80 km/h The speed of the car($y$) from Delhi and Jaipur = 120 km/h Average speed = $\frac{2\times x \times y}{x + y} = \frac{2\times 80 \times 120}{80 + 120}$ = 96 km/h $\therefore$ The average speed of the car is 96 km/h. Hence, the correct answer is 96 km/h.
