Solution
The correct option is Av=v1+v22 As shown, the person travels from A to B through a distance S, where first part S1 is travelled in time t/2 and text S2 also in time t/2. So, according to the condition : v1=S1t/2 and v2=S2t/2 Average velocity = TotaldisplacementTotaltimetaken=S1+S2t=v1t2+v2t2t=v1+v22
