Given:

Speed while going to office (S1) = 60 km/hr

Speed while returning home (S2) = 30 km/hr

Formula used:

Average Speed = (2 × S1 × S2) / (S1 + S2)

Calculation:

Average Speed = (2 × 60 × 30) / (60 + 30)

⇒ Average Speed = (2 × 1800) / 90

⇒ Average Speed = 40 km/hr

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
