The answer is B.
Let the unknown speed = s mph
Given: 50/s = 1 --> s = 50 mph
--> Total time (t) = (30/60) + (20/50)
--> t = 0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9 hours
--> Average speed = 50/0.9 = 55.56 mph
Let the unknown speed = s mph
Given: 50/s = 1 --> s = 50 mph
--> Total time (t) = (30/60) + (20/50)
--> t = 0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9 hours
--> Average speed = 50/0.9 = 55.56 mph
