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.
