Answer / suresh
let, x be man travel from A to B and
Y be man travel from B to A then
Average speed is (2XY)/(X+Y)
therefore ans = (2*4*5)/(4+5)
= 4.44mph

Answer / david
Imagine that the distance from A to B is 20 miles (lowest
common denominator of 4 and 5)
That means on the way there it took him 5 hours (20/4)
On the way back it took him 4 hours (20/5)
So in total it took him 9 hours (5+4) to travel 40 miles (20
miles each way).
So 40/9 = 4.444mph

Answer / bala
man A to B = 4mph
man B to A = 5mph
(4/100=4%, 5/100=5%)
average speed =4mph+5mph/200*100
=4.5mph.
