<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>
</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 = </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>
