If a car covers $2/5^{th}$ of the total distance with speed $v_1$ and $3/5^{th}$ of the total distance with speed $v_2$,then the average speed is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{v_1 v_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1 + v_2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 v_1 v_2}{v_1 + v_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{5 v_1 v_2}{3 v_1 + 2 v_2}$
