Memorable Tricks and Rules for solving Time and Distance Aptitude Questions:
A. BASIC FORMULAE :
Distance travelled
time taken
Distance travelled
Average Speed
4. X km/hour = x
5
18
5. Y meter/second = y
18
5
TYPE -I
1. The time taken by a train in passing a signal post or a telegraph pole or a main
standing near a railway line
TYPE II
1. Time taken by faster train to pass the slower train in the some direction =
m1+m2
x1x2

Where, m1 =length of the first train,
m2 = length of the second train,
x1 = speed of the first train,
x2 = speed of the second train
and x1>x 2
Suppose,
X = Speed of a boat or a man in still water.
Y = Speed of the stream or the current or the river.
Then,
TYPE-I

= Down rate = x+y
= Up rate = x-y
TYPE II
1
1. X =
1. If a body covers a distance at the rate of x and another equal distance at the
rate of y,then
2xy
PRECAUSTIONS:
1. In a question, unit of all given quantities (speed or distance) will be in the
same manner i.e , either in kilometer per hour (speed) and kilometer
(distance) or in meter per second (speed) and meter (distance)
2. Sometimes we have to change unit of given quantity according to need
of the question. It should be the remembered.
