Time, Speed & Distance is one of the most important topics in quantitative aptitude section in various SSC and Banking exams.

 INTRODUCTION:

Time is referred as time taken to complete a certain distance and its unit is hr/min/sec, Speed is referred as the rate at which a certain distance is covered and its unit is km/hr,m/sec , Distance is referred as the total distance covered its unit is km/m.

 

TYPE CONVERSIONS:

If the unit is in km/hr and it is converted into m/sec by multiplying it with 5/18,

If the unit is in m/sec and it is converted into km/hr by multiplying it with 18/5,

1 km/hr  is converted into 1m/sec by *(5/18)

1 m/sec is converted into 1 Km/hr by *(18/5)

 

PROPORTIONAL:

If Distance is Constant then, Time(T1 &T2) and Speed(S1 and S2) is inversely proportional to each other S1/S2=T2/T1

If Time is Constant then, the ratio between Distance and Speed is directly proportional to each other.

(i.e. If Speed increases then Distance is also increases,If Speed decreases then Distance also decreases)

 

#1 TYPE 1: BASED ON TIME ,DISTANCE AND SPEED:

 

If a man rides a distance of 540km at the rate of 60Km/hr .Then at what speed he should ride in order to reach the destination less than 3 hrs than his usual speed express in m/sec?

Time=Distance/Speed

=540/60

=9hr.

Speed=Distance/Time(time =(9-3hr)=6hr)

=540/6

=90km/hr.

Type Conversion:

1 Km/hr ⇒ 1m/sec *(5/18)

90km/hr=90*(5/18)=25m/sec

Try & Practice Questions: 

1. A increases his speed by 5km/hr then time taken reduced by 20%.What is the initial speed of journey?

a) 10km/hr b) 15km/hr c) 20km/hr d) 25km/hr

2.A Car travelling with 5/7 of the actual speed covers 42km in 1hr 40min 48sec.Find the actual speed of the car?

a) 17km/hr b) 32km/hr c) 31km/hr d) 35km/hr

3. A man travels on a Scooter from A to B at a speed of 30km/hr and returns back from B to A at 20km/hr. The total journey was performed by him in 10hr.Find the distance from A to B?

a) 100km b) 110km c) 120km d) 125km

 

#2 TYPE 2 : BASED ON REACHING THE DESTINATION EARLY AND LATE: 

 

If a man walks from home to his office at the rate of 40km/hr and he is late by 20 minutes and if man goes to his office from home by riding a bike at the rate of 60km/hr then he reaches the office 10 minutes early. Then what is the distance between his home and his office?

Solution:

Let us consider a man starts from his home by 9.00A.M.

By walking he would reach at 9.20 A.M.

By Riding he would reach at 8.50 A.M.

Here we don’t know the distance between them so lets take L.C.M of speed and consider it as the total distance

L.C.M. of 40,60=60km

By walking a man takes 60/40=1hr 30 mins

By Riding a man takes 60/60=1hr.

The difference between the time taken here is 30 mins(1hr 30 mins and 1hr is 30 mins)

The difference between 8.50 AM -9.20 AM=30 minutes.

Here the difference between the time taken here is 30 mins(1hr 30 mins and 1hr is 30 mins) and The difference between 8.50 AM – 9.20 AM=30 minutes is same.

Therefore the distance between his home and office is 60Km.

Shortcut Method:

LCM of 40,60=60 KM

By Walking he takes =60/40=1hr 30 min

By Riding he takes=60/60=1 hr

1hr30Min-1hr=30 Min

8.50 A.M. – 9.20 A.M.=30 Mins

Here they are same (30 Mins=30 Mins) So the distance is 60 Km

 

TRY & Practice Questions:

1)Starting from his house one day ,a student walks at a speed of 2(1/2)kmph and reaches his school 6minutes late .Next day increases his speed by 1kmph and reaches the school 6 minutes early. How far the is the school from his house?

a)1km b)15km c)14km d)1(3/4)km

2) If I walk at 4km/hr, I miss the bus by 10 min. If I walk at 5km/hr, I reach 5 min before the arrival of the bus. How far I walk to reach the bus stand?

a)5km b)5.5km c)6km d)7.5km

3.If a man goes to his office by bicycle from home at the rate of 60km/hr he reaches 10 minutes early and If a man goes to his office by bike from home at the rate of 80km/hr then he reaches the office 25 minutes early so what is the distance between the his home and his office?

A) 60km B) 200km C) 300km D) 400km

 

#3 TYPE 3: BASED ON AVERAGES:

For Different Distance:

Average Speed=(Total distance/Total Time Taken)

For Same Distance :

Number Of Speed given	Average Speed
2 Speed namely x and y	2xy/(x+y)
3 Speed namely x,y and z	3xyz/(xy+yz+zx)

 

1.A bus moves along the road which is in the shape of square.It’s speed along each side of the square are recorded as 50km/hr,25km/hr,60km/hr and 90km/hr .Find the approximate average speed of the bus in km/hr)?

Solution: 

Here we don’t know the distance  bus moves so, take

LCM(50,25,60,90=900km)

But here they say the Bus moves in a square path so the distance covered by the bus=900*4=3600.

Average Speed=Total Distance /Total Time

Time taken in 1^st path=900/50=18hr

Time taken in 2^nd path=900/25=36hr

Time taken in 3rd path=900/60=15hr

Time taken in 4^th path=900/90=10hr

Average Speed=3600/(18+36+15+10)=3600/79=45km/hr

2 .A man walks 7.5 km at a speed of 3km/hr. At what speed would the man need walk during the next 2hr to have an average of 4km/hr for the entire session?

Solution

Time=Distance/Speed

=7.5/3  ⇒ 2hr30min.

Speed	Time	Distance
3 km/hr	2hr 30min	7.5km
X km/hr	2hr	2X
Average Speed=4km/hr

Average Speed =Total Distance /Total time taken

Therefore,

Total Distance=7.5+2X

Average Speed=4km/hr

Total time taken=4hr30min

Therefore 4=(7.5+2X)/4hr 30min

18=7.5+2X

10.5=2X

5.25=X

a)42m/h b)48m/h c)49m/h d)50m/h

 

#4 TYPE 4:BASED ON DIRECTIONS:

 

Direction	Speed	Relative Speed
Same Direction	S1,S2	S1-S2/S2-S1
Opposite Direction	S1,S2	S1+S2

1 .Two men starting from the same place walk at the rate of 4km/hr and 4.6km/hr respectively. What time will they take to be 3 km apart ,if they walk in the same direction?

Relative Speed(Same Direction)	1st men	2nd men
0.6km/hr	4km/hr	4.6km/hr
	Same Direction=4.6km/hr – 4km/hr=.6km/hr

Time =Distance/Speed

=3/0.6hr

Time =5hours

2. Two cars A and B are running towards each other from two different place which is 88km apart. If the ratio of the speeds of the cars A and B is 5:6 and the speed of the car B is 90km/hr, after what time they meet each other express in mins?

Relative Speed(opposite direction)	Car A	Car B
11x	5x	6x
75+90=165	75	90

Time=Total Distance/Relative Speed

=88/165hr

=88*60/165

Time =32mins

TRY:

1.Ram and Sita are walking towards each other with the speed of 10km/hr and 20km/hr ,respectively over a road 900km long. How long will they meet?

a)6pm on Monday b)6 am on Tuesday c)6pm on Tuesday d)6am on Wednesday

 

#5 TYPE 5: DISTANCE COVERED WITH DIFFERENT SPEED:

1.I started on my bicycle on 7 AM to reach a mall. But after going for a certain distance my bicycle went out of order. Then I rested there for 35mins then returned home at 1PM.What is the distance covered by me if my cycling speed be 10km/hr and walking speed be 1km/hr?

Let my Distance be X,

From 7AM to 1PM=6Hours.

Time=Distance /Speed

Time Taken for Cycling(hr)	Rest Time(hr)	Time Taken for walking(hr)
X/10	35/60	X/1

(X/10) + (35/60)+(X/1)=6

66X+35=360

66X=325

X=4(61/66)km

 

Q. Two persons A and B started walking from two places P and Q respectively towards Q and P at 8.20 A.M. Their speeds of walking were in the ratio 4:5. They met at a place between P and Q ,spent some time together for coffee and then both started towards their respective destinations at 9.27 A.M. If A reached Q at 10.32 A.M., how much time they spent together?

Options:

a) 17 Minutes b) 15 Minutes C) 10 Minutes d) 22 Minutes e) 25 Minutes

As the problem is silent on the distance covered either by A or by B, the ratio of the time taken by them will be helpful in quickly solving it. As speed and time are inversely proportional, the ratio of time taken by A and B is 5:4.

How much time did A take to cover the distance between P and Q as per the Question? Let the point at which they met be R. A covers the distance between P and R in (9.27 Hours – 8.20 Hours) i.e. in 67 minutes including the time spent together by them at R. A specific point to remember here is that the difference in time should not be computed by simply subtracting the fractions, but by converting the time elements into minutes.( one Hour= 60 Minutes). The actual time taken by him to cover the distance between R and Q is (10.32 Hours-9.27 Hours) i.e. 65 Minutes. The total time taken by A to cover the distance between P and Q = Time taken to cover the distance between P and R + The time spent with B for coffee + Time taken to cover the distance between R and Q. Let the time (in minutes) they spent together be t. For computing the speed at which A traveled  the resting time (the  time taken for coffee) should not be included. Thus in relation to speed, the actual time taken by A to cover the entire distance between P and Q is 67 Minutes-t Minutes + 65 Minutes. While A takes ( 67-t) and 65 Minutes as actual traveling time, B takes  only (67 -t) X 5/4 Minutes (from Q to R) plus  65X 5/4 Minutes(from R to Q) to complete his journey from Q to P.  While A takes 65 Minutes to cover the distance between R and P, Q takes 65 X 4/5 Minutes to complete the remaining distance between R and Q.

It is therefore clear that :

67-t (Minutes) = 65 X 4/5 (Minutes) = 52 Minutes.

Solving the simple equation, t = 15 Minutes.

The solution is that of finding the time spent together by them which is t.

Answer: b) 15 Minutes.

Illustration:

A

67-t Minutes              (Time taken)                     65 Minutes

P –———————––————- R –——-–———————— Q

52 Minutes (Time taken) 41 Minutes +36 Seconds B

Ratio of their time (A:B) = 52+ 65 Minutes : 52 +(41 Minutes + 36 Seconds).

i.e 117 Minutes : 93 Minutes plus 36 Seconds.

7020 SecondS : 5616 Seconds.

5 : 4

Which is given.

Hence, confirmation of the answer.

 

1)Akash,Vikash & Vinesh are the three friends left City A and move to City B with equal intervals of time between them starting from Akash.And they reach City B simultaneously and again move to City  C which is 300 km from City B.Vikash reach City C before an hour Akash reach the City C.Vinesh reaches City C & immediately travel  to City B and meets Akash 100km away from City C.Find the Speed of Akash?

Friends don’t Panic by just seeing the length of the Question this Problem is quite big but can be solved by just knowing Relationship between Time,Speed & Distance.Nothing more is needed to solve these kinds of Problem.

Finding Relationship Between Akash & Vinesh

Finding Relationship Between Akash & Vikash

Finding The Value Of Akash:

Friends this Problem is quite bigger and these type of Problem can be solved if we know to find the Relationship between them.

As per given in the question

When Akash Travels 200 Km Vinesh Travels 400 Km From this we can Say Vinesh is 2(Akash)

Then it is Given that they start with equal intervals of time,

Ta-Tv=Tv-Tvi

From the Above Step we will be Substitute the Value of Vinesh in terms of Akash

We have Solved this And Found that Sv=4Sa/3(only this Part is Calculative)

After the next Part is Quite easy ,

To find the Value  of Sa,

Distance given in the question/Sa=Difference in Time between 2 Persons

Then we will find the Sa Value from which we can find Sv & Svi

 

RACES:

There are two types of Races are there they are Linear Races and Circular Races

 

Type  1: LINEAR  RACES:

1.In a Race of 100 metre ,A beats B by 20 metre and beats C by 30m.Then in a race of 100 m by how many metre  will B beats C?

2.In a Race of 100 m A beats B by 20 m and in other Race B beats C by 30 m .then fow many metres A beats C?

# 2.TYPE 2:

CIRCULAR  RACE:

1.A,B and C participated in a Circular Race and A completes the race in 20 sec B in 15 sec and C in 10 secs if all the three starts at the same time and the same point then find when all will meet at the first time?

2.A and B moves around a circular field if A completes the circular field in 25 sec and B completes the circular field in 20 sec then at what time they will meet the first time?

1.Speed, Time and Distance:

Speed = Distance / time

Time = distance /speed

Distance =speed*distance

 

2. km/hr to m/sec conversion: 
Y km/hr = [Y × 5/18] m/sec

 

3. m/sec to km/hr conversion: 
Y m/sec = [Y × 18/5] km/h

 

4. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b , then the ratio of the 
times taken by then to cover the same distance is 1/a:1/b or b : a.

 

5. Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then, the average speed during the whole journey is[xy/(x+y)] km/hr.

 

6. Average speed: If both the time taken are equal i.e t1 = t2 = t ,then, t1 + t2 / 2

 

7. The average of odd numbers from 1 to n is = [Last odd no. + 1] / 2.

 

8. The average of even numbers from 1 to n is = [Last even no. + 2] / 2.

 

TRICKS:

Average speed should not be calculated as average of different speeds, i.e., Ave. speed ≠ =Sum of speed / No. of different Speed

There are two different cases when average speed is required.

1. Case I

When time remains constant and speed varies :

If a man travels at the rate of x km/h for t hours and again at the rate of y km/h for another t hours, then for the whole journey, his average speed is given by

 

Average speed = Total Distance÷Total Time

2. Case II

When the distance covered remains same and the speeds vary :

When a man covers a certain distance with a speed of x km/h and another equal distance at the rate of y km/h. then for the whole journey, the average speed is given by

Average speed =2xy/(x+y)km/h.

 

3. Velocity

The speed of a moving body is called as its velocity if the direction of motion is also taken into consideration

 

Velocity = Net Displacement Of The Body ÷ Time Taken

4. Relative speed

4(a) Bodies moving in same direction

When two bodies move in the same direction, then the difference of their speeds is called the relative speed of one with respect to the other.

When two bodies move in the same direction, the distance between them increases (or decreases) at the rate of difference of their speeds

4(b) Bodies moving in opposite direction

The distance between two bodies moving towards each other will get reduced at the rate of their relative speed (i.e., sum of their speeds). =Initial distance between two bodies/ Some of their Speed

Relative speed of one body with respect to other body is sum of their speeds.

Increase or decrease in distance between them is the product of their relative speed and time.

Important tricks to solve the problems:-

• When a moving body covers a certain distance at x km/h and another same distance at the speed of y km/h, then average speed of moving body during its entire journey will be
  [2xy/(x+y)]km/h
• A man covers a certain distance at x km/h by car and the same distance at y km/h by bicycle. If the time taken by him for the whole journey by t hours, then Total distance covered by him = 2txy/(x+y) km.
• A boy walks from his house at x km/h and reaches the school ‘ t 1 ‘ minutes late. If he walks at y km/h he reaches ‘ t 2 ‘ minutes earlier. Then, distance between the school and the house. =[xy / (y-x) ] [( t1+ t2 ) / 60 ]km
• If a man walks with (x/y) of his usual speed he takes t hours more to cover a certain distance.Then the time to cover the same distance when he walks with his usual speed, x t / (y-x) hours.
• If two persons A and B start at the same time in opposite directions from the points and after passing each other they complete the journeys in ‘ x ‘ and ‘ y’ hrs. respectively, then A’s speed : B’s speed = √y :√x
• If the speed is (a/b) of the original speed, then the change in time taken to cover the same distance is given by Change in time = [(b/a)-1] × original time

Key notes to solve problems on Trains

• • The time taken by a train in passing a signal post or a telegraph pole or a man standing near a railway line = Length of the train / Speed of the train.
  • The time taken by a train passing a railway bridge or a platform or a tunnel or a train at rest = (x + y ) / speed where, x = length of the train y = length of the bridge or platform or standing train or tunnel.
  • Time taken by faster train to pass the slower train in the same direction = x +y / u-v
  • where, x = length of the first trainy = length of the second train
    u = speed of the first trainv = speed of the second train and u > v
  • Time taken by the trains in passing each other while moving in opposite direction = x +y / u-v.
  • Time taken by the train to cross a man = x / (u-v) where, both are moving in the same direction andx = length of the trainu = speed of the train andv = speed of the manTime taken by the train to across a man running in the opposite direction = x / ( u+ v)
  • If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing, they take a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively. Then, A’s speed : B’s speed = ( √b :√a)
  • A train starts from a place at u km/h and another fast train starts from the same place after t hours at v km/h in the same direction. Find at what distance from the starting place both the trains will meet and also find the time of their meeting.Distance = uvt / (v-u) kmTime = ut / v-u hours
  • The distance between two places A and B is x km. A train starts from A to B at u km/h. One another train after t hours starts from B to A at v km/h. At what distance from A will both the train meet and also find the time of their meetingTime=[ ( x – u t / u + v ) + t ] hours.Distance from A = {u [ (x – u t ) / ( u + v ) ] + t } km
  • Two trains starts simultaneously from the stations A and B towards each other at the rates of u and v km/h respectively. When they meet it is found that the second train had traveled x km more than the first. Then the distance between the two stations = [ x ( u + v ) / (v – u ) ] km. (i.e., between A and B)

Relationship Between Speed, Time & Distance

Speed = Distance / Time

We can deduce the following from this formula:-

Average Speed

Relative Speed

Trains Crossing

Boats & Streams

Circular Motion

                                                                                    =5x/6y
(Note: takenTotal distance=Length of train because जब कोई Train किसी Pole या व्यक्ति को पार करती है तो वह अपनी लंबाई के बराबर ही distance तय करती है |)
Time is taken by 2nd train to cross the pole=Total distance/speed
                                                                                      =3x/5y
Ratio of their time=(5x/6y):(3x/5y)
                                     =25:18 Ans.

Time And Distance: Meeting Point Concept for Competitive Exams Type-6

Suppose point A से एक कार X km/hr के speed से point B की ओर जा रहा है एवं point B से एक कार Y Km/hr की स्पीड से point A की और आ रहा है तो दोनों कार एक- दूसरे से कहीं ना कहीं आपस में मिलेंगे तो माना वह point C है जहां दोनों कार आपस में मिलेंगे |
Note:जहां पर दोनों car आपस में मिलेंगे मैं तो इस स्थिति में दोनों का Time same होगा i.e ऐसा तब होगा जब reference of time दिया होगा| Reference time से तात्पर्य है कि यदि point A से एक कार 9:00 बजे चली है तो point B से भी कार 9:00 बजे ही चली हो|

(Q)Two trains start at the same time from Aligarh and Delhi and proceed towards each other at the rate of 14 km and 21 km per hour respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has traveled 70 kilometers more than the other. The distance between two stations is.
दो रेलगाड़ियां एक ही समय पर अलीगढ़ और दिल्ली से क्रमशः 14 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा और 21 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे की रफ्तार से एक दूसरे की ओर रवाना होती है जब वे एक दूसरे से मिलती है तो यह पता चलता है कि उनमें से एक गाड़ी ने दूसरी गाड़ी के अपेक्षा 70 किलोमीटर अधिक यात्रा की है तो दोनों स्टेशनों के बीच की दूरी क्या है?
(a)300 km      (b)210 km      (c)350 km      (d)140 km

Solution:

[Exp-माना Delhi से जो Train Aligarh की तरफ जा रही है वह meeting point तक पहुंचने में D Km Distance तय की है and जो Train Aligarh से Delhi की ओर जा रही है वह Meeting Point तक पहुंचने में (D+70) Km Distance तय की है|]

Now,

Total distance between two stations=D+(D+70)
                                                                        =2D+70
                                                                        =350 km Ans.

Second Method:

Let the trains meet each other after x hr
so, distance traveled by 1st train in x hr=14x
    distance traveled by 2nd train in x hr=21x
Distance between Delhi and Aligarh=14x+21x=35x
now,
        21x-14x=70
                    x=10
so, they meet after 10 hr.
Distance between Delhi and Aligarh=35x
                                                                        =35×10
                                                                        =350 Km Ans.

(2)A and B are 20 km apart A can walk at an average speed of 4 km/hr and B at 6 km/hr. If they start walking towards each other at 7 a.m. when they will meet?
A और B 20 किलोमीटर दूरी पर है| A 4 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा और भी 6 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटा की गति से चल सकता है| यदि वह प्रातः 7:00 बजे एक दूसरे की ओर चलना शुरु करते हैं तो वह कब मिलेंगे?
(a)9.00 a.m      (b)8.30 a.m      (c)10.00 a.m      (d)8.00 a.m

Solution:

Second method:

Let they are meeting each other after x hr.
So, distance travelled by A in x hr=4x
distance travelled by B in x hr=6x
Now,
       4x+6x=20
                 x=2 hr
Meeting time=7am+2hr
                          =9:00 am Ans.

(3)Two places P and Q are 162 km apart. A train leaves P for Q and simultaneously another train leaves Q for P. They meet at the end of 6 hours. If the former train travels 8 km/hr faster than the other, then speed of the train from Q is.
दो स्थान P और Q एक दूसरे से 162 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर है| एक गाड़ी P से Q के लिए प्रस्थान करती है और उसी समय एक अन्य गाड़ी Q से P के लिए प्रस्थान करती है| 6 घंटे के अंत में वे दोनों गाड़ियां मिलती है| यदि पहली वाली गाड़ी दूसरी गाड़ी से 8 किलोमीटर प्रति घंटे तेज चलती है, तो Q से चलने वाली गाड़ी की गति क्या है?

Solution:

According to the question,
The train meet each other after 6 hours
So, distance travelled by 1st train in 6 hours=(x+8)×6 Km
distance travelled by 2nd train in 6 hrs=x×6 Km
Now,
(x+8)×6+6x=162
6x+48+6x=162
x=19/2=9 ½ Ans.

(4)A train A start from Delhi at 4 p.m. and reaches Ghaziabad at 5 p.m. While another train B start from Ghaziabad at 4 p.m. and reaches Delhi at 5:30 P.M. The two trains will cross each other at?
