Download Solution PDF- Speed = Distance/Time
- Average Speed = (Total distance covered / Total time taken)
Given:
- Time is given in 24hrs format.
- Train departure time from Ahmedabad: 30th August, 13:30 hours.
- Arrival time of the train at Trivandrum: 1st September, 7:30 hours.
- The distance between Ahmedabad and Trivandrum is 2268 km.
Explanation:
Time is taken for the complete journey:
- From 30th August, 13:30 hours to 31st August, 13:30 hours = 24 hours
- From 31st August, 13:30 hours to 1st September, 1:30 hours = 12 hours
- From 1st September, 1:30 hours to 1st September, 7:30 hours = 6 hours
- Total time is taken = 42 hours
Average Speed = (Total distance covered / Total time taken) = 2268 km/42 hrs = 54 km/hr
Thus, the average speed of the bus during the entire journey is 54 km/hr.
