1. 3835 km
2. 4000 km
3. 3800 km 
4. 3900 km
5. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3835 km

Given 

The average speed of a train is 5 times the average speed of a bus

Bus covers distance in 10 hours = 590 km

Formula Used

Average = Sum of observation / No. of observation

Calculation

Bus covers 590 km in 10 hours,

Then the speed of the bus = 590/10 = 59 km/hr

So Speed of train will be = 5 × 59 = 295 km/hr

Distance covered by train in 13 hours = 13 × 295 = 3835 km

∴ Distance covered by train in 13 hours is 3835 km
