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.
