1)average speed is the total distance travelled by a body in a given time

   whereas average velocity is the total displacement of the body in the given time with specific direction

2)its 70km/hr towards south west

because let N-S dirn. say j-direction

& E-W say i-dirn.

hence initial vel=50j

         final vel=50i

& hence change in vel= final- initial

                               =50i-50j

                               = ie 50√2 in south west direction

                               =70km/hr in south west dirn.

all the best
