Dear student
 
we can apply the formula 2xy/(x+y) for average speed.
Hence
 
Avg speed = 2*40*10/(40+10) = 800/50 = 16 kmph

Before working out Km is to be converted in to miles isn`t it. Hence 40km isto be converted and then average speed to be found out.

Sorry, thanks for pointing it out.
 
40 kmph = 40/1.6 mph = 24.85 mph
 
Now avg speed = 2*24.85*10/34.85 = 14.26 mph
 
Hence option B is correct
