(S1+S2)/2. From the above direct formula the
#1: Basic Concepts of Time, Speed and Distance
answer will be
Speed =Distance/Time
Solution: (2x40x60)/(40+60) = 48 km/hr
Time =Distance/Speed
If we’ve to find the average of more than 2 speeds,
Distance = Speed x Time average speed will be the harmonic mean of all such
speeds
To convert km/hr to m/sec

Q20.Option A
Ratio of speeds = ( ) ( )
Q16 Option B
Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11
– 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr
Distance covered in 6 minutes =
Q17. Option B
Important to Note first - Dead Head means - run
or finish a race at exactly level or at same time.
Q18.Option D
Speed = 9km/hr = ( )m/sec = m/sec
Distance = = 140 m
Therefore, time taken = ( )
Q1. Option C
Differences in Time taken for both movements
are same here. So,
Speed = 2* (increased speed)*(decreased
speed) /difference in speed
= 2*8*4 /8- 4
= 2*8*4/4
= 16kmph
Q5 Option C
Q2. Option D
Let the distance between Coimbatore and
Difference in time taken =40-30= 10min =
Ahmadabad be X
10/60 = 1/6 hr
Speed of first train= x/4 km/h
Speed during the next journey= 15+3 =18kmph
Speed of second train =x/3 km/h
So time taken, x/15 –x/18 = 1/6
Let they meet y hrs after 7.00am
3x/ (15*18) =1/6
Then, according to the question,
X / (5*18) = 1/6
X/4 *y +x/3 * (y-2) =X
x = (18*5)/6
Y/4 +(y-2)/3 =1
Distance (X) = 15km
3y+4(y-2) =12
3y+4y-8 =12
Q3 Option C
7y=20
Let assume the usual speed of the train X kmph
Y=20/7
Then, 75% of usual speed = 75*x/100 =3x/4
Y =2 hrs 51 min 25 sec
Now, L /x = 12
Two trains cross each other = 7+2.51 = 9.51
L = 12x
am(approx)
Again, (L+450) /(3x/4) =18
12x+450 = 18*(3x/4)
Q6 Option A
450+ 12x = 27x/2
Let the length of train B be X m.
450+12x = 13.5x
Then, length train A =2X/5
1.5x = 450
Now the speed of train B to that of train A =
X = 450/1.5 =675m
(X/70): (2X/5 /45)
Speed = 18*(5/18) = 5m/s;
= (70/x) *(2x/225)
Time taken = Distance /Speed = 675/5= 135
= 140: 225 = 28:45
Seconds
=> 135/60 min = 2 hr 15 min
Q7 Option C
Speed of the truck= D/T = 294/7 = 42km/hr
Now, Speed of car = (Speed of truck +14) km/hr
= 42+14 = 56km/hr
Q10 Option C
Express:
Time taken to cover 75km (including stoppage)
= 30min+6min =36min
Time taken to cover the total distance by
Express= (36/75*825) +36min = 432min
Local Train:
Time taken to cover 37.5km (including
stoppage) = 30min+2min =32min
In 32min, distance covered =37.5km
Q15 Option E
Required total distance = 432*(37.5/32)=
W+R=8 hr 25 min
506.25km
2R=6 hr 25 min
R=3 hr 25/2 min
Q11. Option D
W=8 hr 25 min-3 hr 25/2 min
=>5 hr 25/2 min*2
=>10 hr 25 min
Q16 Option E
If Ragu travelled 60 km/hr, he may reach the
resort at 10 am, In the same way if he travelled
50 km/hr, he may reach the resort at 11 am. The
difference is 1 hour.
Q12. Option C x/60-x/50=1
48+54+60+….114 10x/(60*50)=1
X=300 km
Q20. Option D
Q17 Option B Travels between 5 pm and 5.15 pm
The speed ratio is, The difference is= 15 mins
Bus car jeep So, 50*15/60=12.5 km
2:3:5 Remaining Distance= 400-12.5=387.5 km
Bus’s speed=480/12=40 km/hr Relative speed=50+80=130 km/hr
2’s =40 They meet after=387.5/(80+50)=387.5/130=2
1’s=20 hrs 58 min(approx)
We substituting this, we get Hence they meet at 5.15+2.58=8.13 pm
Car’s speed=60, Jeep’s speed=100 km/hr Meeting distance=100+48.33=148.33 km
Average speed of car and Jeep=160/2=80
km/hr
Q18 Option A
The speed of train and Car is,
Train car
18 : 13
18x 13x
Bus’s speed=480/12=40 km/hr
Speed of Bus=5/9*train=5/9*18x=10x
Car’s speed=13*4=52 km/hr, t=5 hr
Distance=s*t=52*5=260 km
Q19 Option B
