Yes, future is always infront of us, but no one can see it.

Let the required number be 'X'

Condition 1 :  

$$\begin{gathered} XX = 2X \\ => 2X2 = X \\ => X = 12 \end{gathered}$$

Condition 2 :

$$\begin{gathered} X × X = X2 \\ => X = 12 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, 12 is the number which becomes double when it is divided by itself and becomes half when it is multiplied by itself.

we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken
let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.

i.e. 2xx60+x40

=> 2x5x120

= 48 kmph.
