8m/s
All you need to do to calculate average velocity is divide the total distance travelled by the time.
Therefore: 400m/50sec=8m/s
****************
I know velocity is a vector quantity and no direction is specified here, but displacement is a change in position and your saying there is no change in postion doesnt add up for me.

I agree with Alexander.
First 2 answers were about average speed.

Average velocity = displacement / time
Average velocity = zero / time
Average velocity = zero

400 m/ 50 sec = 8 m/sec
