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.
