Yes, I am wrong. The right answer is explained below:                                                                                          Let total distance = S, Time required(t1)Total time to cover the distance with velocity V0 = S/NV0. Remaining part of the distance = S – S/N =S(N-1)/N. If this distance is covered in time 2t,                                                              V1.t+V2.t =S(N-1)/N .  Therefore t = S(N-1)/N(V1+V2).                                                           So Vavg = Net displacement/Total time = S/(S/NV0 +2S(N-1)/N(V1+V2))                                                        = NV0(V1+V2)/ (V1+V2+2V0(N-1))
