    Answer: D

    Explanation:

    Given that a car travels from point A to B in 3 hours and returns back to point A in 5 hours. Points A and B are 150 miles apart along a straight highway.

    From point A to B

    The speed = distance / time

    Where

    Distance = 150 mile

    Time = 3 hours

    Substitute the values into the formula

    Speed = 150/3 = 50 mile/ hours

    From Point B to Point A

    Distance = 150 miles

    Time = 5 hours

    Where speed = distance/ time

    substitute all the parameters into the formula

    Speed = 150/5 = 30 mph

    Therefore, The car travels at 50 mph for the first half and 30 mph for the second half.

    The correct answer is option D
