1. Total distance travelled by train is 193 1/3 kilometres so that is 580/3 kilo meters
2. To find average speed we have a formula and that is total distance travelled by total time taken to travel the distance
3. So calculating total time taken to complete the journey we need to subtract stoppage time from total time.
4. But first convert total time into minutes so we get 17*60/4 = 255 minutes
5. Total time of journey is 255 - 10 - 2*5 - 3 = 232 minutes
6. The average speed of train is 580/3*232 = 0.833 km/minute
7. So the average speed is 0.833km/minute
