$A$ person travels along a straight road for the first half time with a velocity $v_1$ and the next half time with a velocity $v_2$. The mean velocity $V$ of the man is

  • A
    $\frac{2}{V} = \frac{1}{v_1} + \frac{1}{v_2}$
  • B
    $V = \frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$
  • C
    $V = \sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • D
    $V = \sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}$
