B

Explanation

To find the average speed from Calabar to Benin, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken.The distance from Calabar to Enugu is p km, and the distance from Enugu to Benin is q km. Therefore, the total distance traveled is p + q km.The time taken to travel from Calabar to Enugu can be calculated by dividing the distance by the average speed, which is p/u hours.The time taken to travel from Enugu to Benin can be calculated by dividing the distance by the average speed, which is q/w hours.The total time taken is p/u + q/w hours.To find the average speed, we divide the total distance by the total time:Average speed = Total distance / Total time              = (p + q) / (p/u + q/w) km/hSimplifying this expression, we can find the average speed from Calabar to Benin.To find the average speed from Calabar to Benin, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken.The distance from Calabar to Enugu is p km, and the distance from Enugu to Benin is q km.
