Solution

Speed formula:
Distance between two cities= $380 k m$
Time taken by train to cover the distance= $6 h o u r s 40 m i n u t e s = 6 + \frac{40}{60} h o u r s = \frac{20}{3} h o u r s$
We know that speed is given in terms of distance covered and time taken as :
$s p e e d = \frac{d i s \tan c e c o v e r e d}{t i m e t a k e n}$
$s p e e d = \frac{380 k m}{\frac{20}{3} h r} = 57 k m / h r$
Hence, the speed of the train is $57 k m / h r$
