(C) 32 kmph
(D) 46 kmph
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

To find the average speed for the whole journey, we use the formula: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{2xy}{x + y} \] where:
\( x = 20 \) kmph (speed while going)
\( y = 35 \) kmph (speed while returning)
\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{2(20)(35)}{20 + 35} \] \[ = \frac{1400}{55} \] \[ \approx 25.45 \text{ kmph} \] Final Answer: 25.45 kmph
