Correct Answer: 12 km/hr
Solution : Sneha travels while going to the office at a speed = S1= 10 km/hr Sneha travels on her way back at a speed = S2 = 15 km/hr Average Speed = $\frac{2\text{S1S2}}{(\text{S1} + \text{S2})}$ = $\frac{(2 × 10 × 15)}{(10 + 15)}$ = $\frac{(2 × 10 × 15)}{(25)}$ = 12 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 12 km/hr.
