- Q10. If a person travels from point A to point B at 20 km/h and returns at 30 km/h, calculate the average speed without using pen and paper.

The average speed can be calculated by taking the harmonic mean of the two speeds.
To calculate the harmonic mean, divide the sum of the speeds by the reciprocal of the sum of their reciprocals.
