Answer:

0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time.

The displacement is the straight line distance between the starting point and finish point.

The man runs 200 m north, then 200 m south, so he ends back where he started. Therefore, his displacement is 0 m, and his velocity is 0 m/s.
