$A$ car is moving along a straight line,say $OP$ in the given figure. It moves from $O$ to $P$ in $18\; s$ and returns from $P$ to $Q$ in $6.0\; s$. What are the average velocity and average speed of the car in going from $O$ to $P$ and back to $Q?$

  • A
    $20\; m s^{-1}, 20\; m s^{-1}$
  • B
    $10\; m s^{-1}, 20\; m s^{-1}$
  • C
    $20\; m s^{-1}, 10\; m s^{-1}$
  • D
    $30\; m s^{-1}, 10\; m s^{-1}$
