Given:

Monika covers a certain distance at the speed of 48 kmph and then she travels back at a speed of 32 kmph to go to her initial position.

Concept:

The average speed for the given two speeds X kmph and Y kmph is 

\(S_A=\frac{2XY}{X+Y}\)

Solution:

Monika covers a certain distance at the speed of 48 kmph and then she travels back at a speed of 32 kmph to go to her initial position.

Since the average speed is

\(S_A=\frac{2XY}{X+Y}\)

\(S_A=\frac{2(48)(32)}{48+32}\)

\(S_A=\frac{192}{5}\)

Hence, option 4 is correct.
