1st case

car travel 30 km in 1 hour

2nd case

car travel 40 km in 1 hour

3rd case

car travel 30 km in 2 hours

so total distance taken by car

= 30+ 40+ 40

= 110 km

total time taken

= 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 hours

average speed

= total distance / total time

= 110 / 4

= 27.5 km/h

so average speed is 27.5 km/h.
