$\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v})}$

(C) Let the distance between the two places be $x$.Total distance covered $= x + x = 2x$.Time taken to go $= \frac{x}{u}$.Time taken to return $= \frac{x}{v}$.Total time taken $= \frac{x}{u} + \frac{x}{v} = x(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v})$.Average speed $= \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{2x}{x(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v})} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}}$.This can be rewritten as $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v})}$.
