Answer 1

Answer:

114 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance travelled by train= 1140 km

Total time taken= 10 hrs.

Average speed= (1140/10) km/h

= 114 km/h

Answer 2

Answer:

Average Speed of Train is 53 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time when train departed from Madgaon = 9:45 hr

Time when train reached Nagarcoil = 07:15 hr  next day

Total Distance Traveled = 1140 km

Total Time Taken = ( 24:00 - 9:45 ) + 7:15 = 14:15 + 7:15 = 21 hr 30 min = 21.5 hr

We know that Speed = Distance / Time = 1140/21.5 ≈ 53 km/hr

Therefore, Average Speed of Train is 53 km/hr.
