No answer key was printed for this question.

Explanation

Required average speed $=\left(\frac{2 x y}{x+y}\right) \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}=\frac{2 \times 84 \times 56}{(84+56)} \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$ $$=\left(\frac{2 \times 84 \times 56}{140}\right) \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}=67.2 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr} .$$
