A modern coach bus covers a distance of 280 km in 4 hours 40 minutes. Find its average speed.

A. 68 km/h

B. 56 km/h

C. 64 km/h

D. 60 km/h

Answer: Option D

Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)

Time = 4 hours 40 minutes = 4 + 40/60 = 4.666 hours = 14/3 hours. Speed = Distance / Time = 280 / (14/3) = 280 * 3 / 14 = 20 * 3 = 60 km/h.
