Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming uniform speed, 950 m is covered in 5 minutes.
Thus the speed is 950 m / 5 min = 190 m/ min.
You asked for speed in km / hr .
1 km = 1000 m and 1 hr = 60 min.
Let us go one step at one time.
So if the cyclist covers 190 m / min, then in 60 minutes he will travel 190*60 = 11,400 m per 60 minutes.
11,400 m/60 minutes = 11,400 m/ hr because 11,400 m = 11.400 km.
Thus, speed in km/ hr = 11.400 km/ hr.
