An express train starting from Delhi reaches Lucknow, a distance of $550km$, in $6\ hours$. Find the average speed of the train.

Given:

Distance, $D=550km$

Time, $t=6hour$

To find: Average speed of the train.

Solution:

We know that formula for average speed is given as-

$\text {Average Speed}=\frac {Total\ distance\ travelled}{Total\ time\ taken}$

Substituting the given values in the formula, we get-

$\text {Average Speed}=\frac {550}{6}$

$\text {Average Speed}=91.66km/h$

Thus, the average speed of the train is, 91.66 km/h.
