Question

7. Odometer of a bus shows a change of reading from 2354 km to 2667 km when it goes from
Delhi to Jaipur. The average speed of the bus during the journey was 50 km/h. Calculate the
time taken for the journey.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

Odometer shows reading from 2354km to 2667km.

Average speed= 50km/h

so, the distance covered= 2667 - 2354

= 313km

[avg. speed = total distance covered / time taken ]

let the time taken be x

according to question,

Time taken => avg. speed = distance/time

=> 50 = 313/ x

=> 50x = 313

=> x = 313/50

=> x = 6.26hr

Therefore, time taken in the journey is 6.26hr or 6 hr 26min
