The distance between two stations is 240 km. A train takes 4 hrs. to cover this distance. Calculate the speed of the train.

Open in App

Solution

Distance covered by train $S = 240 k m$
Time taken by train to cover this distance $t = 4 h r s$
Thus speed of train $v = \frac{S}{t}$
$∴ v = \frac{240}{4} = 60 k m / h r$
