Solution

Om Prakash travels Bombay to Pune at a speed of 80 km/hr

He returns back to Bombay by increasing his speed by 50% $$=1.5\times 80 = 120$$

his average speed for the whole journey is $$ = \frac{2(V_1 \times V_2)}{V_1 + V_2} $$

$$=\frac{2(80\times120)}{80+120} = 96 kmph$$

Option A is correct.
