Question

A bus starting from Bengaluru covers a distance of 300 km in 6 hours on Friday evening, and returns to Bengaluru in 4 hours early next morning. Find its average speed.

Answer 1

Total time taken by bus to complete journey$=6hrs+4hrs=10hrs$

Given: Distance $\left(d\right)=300km$

Time $\left(t\right)=10hr$

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} Averagespeed=\frac{Dis\tan ce\left(d\right)}{Time\left(t\right)} \\ =\frac{300km}{10hr} \\ =30km/hr \end{gathered}$$

Average speed of bus is $30km/hr.$
