A body covers first half of journey at a speed 40m/s and second half at a speed 60m/s.Calculate average speed.

Average speed is total distance divided by total time. 
First half,time is d/40 
Second half,time is d/60
Total time is d/40 + d/60 = d/24
Total distance is 2d
Average speed is 2d/(d/24) = 48m/s.
