Avg speed of x and y be x+y/2.
Then given that 64+80/2=72.
Then given that 64+80/2=72.

@All.
Average speed means time is constant. So time would be same. Right?

Here we can use the formula.
Equal distance and different speed [2xy/x+y].
Equal distance and different speed [2xy/x+y].

Time = distance speed^-1
time = 160 / 64 = 10 / 4 = 2.5 hour
time taken for the second half = 160 / 80 = 2 hour
total time taken = 4.5 hour
total distance = 160 + 160 = 320
speed = distance time^-1
speed = 320 / 4.5 = 3200/ 45 = 355.5555.../5 = 71.1111........
