    Mph is measured by doing distance / time

    Therefore, it's average speed in the first part of the journey was 120 / 2.5 = 48mph

    The average speed in the second part of the journey was 105 / 2 = 52.5mph.

    The average speed over both parts of the journey would be (48 + 52.5) / 2 = 50.25mph.

    The answer is C.
