The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To determine the speed of the train, we use the formula for speed, which is distance divided by time.
Given:
- Distance = 240 km
- Time = 4 hours
The formula for speed is:
Speed = Distance / Time
Substituting the given values:
Speed = 240 km / 4 hours
Solving this equation:
Speed = 60 km/h
This means the speed of the train is 60 km/h.
