Answer:

The speed is positive either direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is given that, a vehicle travels at the same speed from point A to point B then from point B to point A.
  • We know that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
  • Speed has only magnitude while velocity have both magnitude as well as direction.
  • In this case, the vehicle will have positive speed in either direction.
  • Hence, the correct option is (D)
