90 x 2 = 180

total distance = 180

one minute= 60 seconds

formula AVG speed = total distance/total time

= 180/60 = avg speed

180 divided by 60 is 3

avg speed is 3m/s or 180m per minute

To calculate Vedant's average speed, we need to know the total distance he covered and the time taken. In this case, Vedant swims from point A to point B and then returns to point A, covering a total distance of twice the length of the pool, which is 2 * 90 m = 180 m.

Given that he completes this round trip in one minute, we can use the formula for average speed:

Average speed = Total distance / Time taken

Average speed = 180 m / 1 min = 180 m/min

Therefore, Vedant's average speed is 180 meters per minute.
