Question

A bus travels from Pune to Mumbai covering 150 kilometres in 5 hours. What is the average speed of bus in $kilometre/hour$?

• A. 50 $kilometre/hour$
• B. 30 $kilometre/hour$
• C. 40 $kilometre/hour$
• D. 50 $kilometre/hour$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 30 $kilometre/hour$

Given: Distance between Pune and Mumbai = 150 $kilometres$.
Time taken = 5 $hours$.
Since we know that $Averagespeed=\frac{distance}{time}$
Therefore, $Averagespeed=\frac{150}{5}=30\frac{kilometre}{hour}$ = 50$kilometre/hour$.
