(a).(ii) Time taken by the man to reach the market is t1= 30 minutes.

Time taken by the man to reach back home is t2

\\t_{2}=\frac{2.5}{7.5}\\ t_{2}=\frac{1}{3}\ hr\\ t_{2}=20\ min

t1+t2=50 min

Displacement in 50 minutes is d2=0 km

Magnitude of average velocity=d2/(t1+t2)= 0 km h-1

(b).(ii) Distance travelled in 50 minutes is s2=5 km

Average speed=s2/(t1+t2)= 0.6 km h-1
