GiveN :
- A train is travelling with an average speed of 150 km/h
To FinD :
- Distance Travelled by train in 2.4 hours.
- Time taken to travel 525 km.
SolutioN :
Speed is given as 150 km/h
_____________________
(a) How much distance will be covered in 2.4 hours.
⇒Speed = Distance Travelled/Time Taken
⇒150 = Distance/2.4
⇒Distance = 150 * 2.4
⇒Distance = 360
∴ Distance Travelled in 2.4 hours is 360 m
__________________________
(b) How long will it take to travel between two stations 525 km apart.
⇒Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
⇒150 = 525/Time
⇒1/Time = 150/525
⇒Time = 525/150
⇒Time = 3.5
∴ Time taken to travel 525 km is 3.5 hours.
