- To find the average speed, calculate the total distance and total time.

- First stage: 35 km/h for 2 hours = 70 km.

- Second stage: 50 km/h for 4 hours = 200 km.

- Total distance: 70 km + 200 km = 270 km.

- Total time: 2 hours + 4 hours = 6 hours.

- Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 270 km / 6 hours = 45 km/h.

- Option 2: 50 km/h - Incorrect, represents only the second stage speed.

- Option 3: 45 km/h - Correct, matches calculated average speed.
