A train covers a distance of 540 km between two stations in 240 minutes. It travels at a speed of 90 km/h to another station in 5 hours. What is the average speed of the train (in km/h)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 110.
Distance between two stations = 540 km
Time taken by train to travel between two stations = 240 min
Speed of the train while travelling to another station = 90 km/h
Time taken by the train to travel to another station = 5 hours.
Average speed =
Distance = Speed × Time = 90 × 5 = 450 km
Total distance = 540 + 450 = 990 km
Total Time = + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 hrs
Average speed = = 110 km/hr
The average speed of the train is 110 km/hr.
