Step-by-step explanation:

If you cannot visualize it, just assume that the distance from station A to B is 420km. Each half is 210km.

When the car travels from A to B, it takes 420/30 = 14 hours.

When the car travels from B to the halfway point, it takes 210/30 = 7 hours.

When the car travels from the halfway point to A, it takes 210/70 = 3 hours.

Total time taken = 14 + 7 + 3 = 24 hours.

Total distance = 420km * 2 = 840km.

Hence, the average speed of the car is 840/24 = 35km/h.
