Bus X travels a distance of 360 km is 6 hours. Whereas bus Y travels a distance of 427 km in 7 hours. Which bus travels faster?

For bus X,


Speed= Distance/Time


Speed=360/6=60km/h


For bus Y,


Speed= Distance/Time


Speed=427/7=61 km/h


Speed of bus X is less than that of bus Y. Hence, bus Y travels faster.
