<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The average speed of the car is 66.9 km/h</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here distance covered with the speed <em>57 km/h=7 km  </em>

distance covered with the speed of <em>81 km/h=7 km</em>

<em>Average speed is equal to the ratio of total distance to the total time. </em>

<em>total distance= 7 + 7= 14 km  </em>

<em>time= \frac{distance}{speed} </em>

<em>time taken to cover the first 7 km= 7/57 h  </em>

<em>time taken to cover the second part of the journey = 7/81 h </em>

<em>average speed =  14/(7/57+7/81)=(14 \times 57 \times 81)/945=66.9 km/h</em>

<u><em>Shortcut: </em></u>

<em>When equal distances are covered with different speeds average speed=2 ab/(a+b) where a and b are the variable speeds in the phases. </em>
