Example 1 / 16
Ashwani's speed = 20 km/hr = \(\left(20 \times \frac{5}{18}\right)\) m/sec = \(\frac{50}{9}\) m/sec.
So, Time taken to coer 400 m = \(\left(400 \times \frac{9}{50}\right)\) sec = 72 sec. = \(1\frac{12}{60}\)min. = \(1\frac{1}{5}\) min. Ans.
So, Time taken to coer 400 m = \(\left(400 \times \frac{9}{50}\right)\) sec = 72 sec. = \(1\frac{12}{60}\)min. = \(1\frac{1}{5}\) min. Ans.
Formula Used:
Time = \(\left(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\right)\)
x km/hr = \(\left(x \times \frac{5}{18}\right)\) m/sec
Time = \(\left(\frac{Distance}{Speed}\right)\)
x km/hr = \(\left(x \times \frac{5}{18}\right)\) m/sec
NA
first convert speed from km/hr to m/sec. and apply the time formula directly.
Time = \(\left( \frac{400}{20 \times \frac{5}{18}}\right)\) m/sec.
Time = \(\left( \frac{400}{20 \times \frac{5}{18}}\right)\) m/sec.
Example 2 / 16
Due to stoppages, it covers (54-45)= 9 km less
Time taken to cover 9 km= \(\frac{9}{54}\) * 60 = 10 min Ans.
Time taken to cover 9 km= \(\frac{9}{54}\) * 60 = 10 min Ans.
For stoppage type questions, just subtract the including and excluding stoppage, we will get the distance covered and take out the time by considering the speed of the excluding stoppage.
NA
time taken = \(\frac{distance}{speed}\)
Example 3 / 16
for 1st round,
Distance(d1)= speed*time= 30* \(\frac{1}{3}\)= 10 km
For 2nd round,
Distance(d2)= speed*time= 50* \(\frac{1}{2}\)= 25 km
For 3rd round,
Distance(d2)= speed*time= 50* 1= 50 km
For 4th round,
Distance(d4)= speed*time= 60*1= 60 km
So, avg. speed= \(\frac{Total Distance}{total time}\)
Total d = d1+d2+d3+d4
= 10+25+50+60 = 145 km
Total time = \(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{2}\)+1+1
= \(\frac{17}{6}\)
Average speed= \(\frac{145}{\frac{17}{6}}\) = 51.18 km/hr. Ans.
Distance(d1)= speed*time= 30* \(\frac{1}{3}\)= 10 km
For 2nd round,
Distance(d2)= speed*time= 50* \(\frac{1}{2}\)= 25 km
For 3rd round,
Distance(d2)= speed*time= 50* 1= 50 km
For 4th round,
Distance(d4)= speed*time= 60*1= 60 km
So, avg. speed= \(\frac{Total Distance}{total time}\)
Total d = d1+d2+d3+d4
= 10+25+50+60 = 145 km
Total time = \(\frac{1}{3}\)+\(\frac{1}{2}\)+1+1
= \(\frac{17}{6}\)
Average speed= \(\frac{145}{\frac{17}{6}}\) = 51.18 km/hr. Ans.
Avg. speed = \(\frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}\)
NA
Avg. speed= \(\frac{(s1*t1+s2*t2+s3*t3+s4*t4)}{t1+t2+t3+t4}\)
= \(\frac{(10+25+50+60)}{2.83}\)= 51.18 km/hr.
= \(\frac{(10+25+50+60)}{2.83}\)= 51.18 km/hr.
Example 4 / 16
speed of Sambhu= \(\frac{d}{t}\)= \(\frac{30}{10}\)m/s = 3 m/s
Time taken by Sambhu to complete 1200 m= \(\frac{1200}{3}\)= 400s
Time taken by Sambhu to complete 1200 m= \(\frac{1200}{3}\)= 400s
speed = \(\frac{d}{t}\)
Time = \(\frac{d}{s}\)
Time = \(\frac{d}{s}\)
NA
In these questions, just take out the speed and divide by the distance given.
Example 5 / 16
Let the normal time be t and speed be s. Now, new speed= \(\frac {3}{4}\)s and new time= t+16
So, since distance is same, then,
S*t=\(\frac {3}{4}\)s* (t+ 16)
On solving, we get, t= 48 minutes Ans.
So, since distance is same, then,
S*t=\(\frac {3}{4}\)s* (t+ 16)
On solving, we get, t= 48 minutes Ans.
distance = speed*time
NA
If the change in speed and time is given, then just equate the original speed*time and new speed*time as the distance is the same. Hence, we will get the time.
Example 6 / 16
average speed= \(\frac{total distance}{total time}\)
= \(\frac{650+940}{10+5}\)
= \(\frac{1590}{15}\)
= 106kmph Ans.
= \(\frac{650+940}{10+5}\)
= \(\frac{1590}{15}\)
= 106kmph Ans.
average speed = \(\frac{total distance}{total time}\)
NA
To find the avg. speed when the different distance is given, just add up total distance and add total time and take out speed as by the formula, average speed= \(\frac{total distance}{total time}\).
Example 7 / 16
Given,

when we have to take out the distance, for different speeds, let s1 and s2, then,
Time = \(\frac{x}{s1}\)- \(\frac{x}{s2}\)
Time difference will be given, hence x is obtained.
Time = \(\frac{x}{s1}\)- \(\frac{x}{s2}\)

Time is taken to cover x km with speed 136kmph be t hour.
Time taken to cover x km with speed 100 kmph be \(\left({{\text{t}+\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
Now, 100* \(\left({\frac{{4{\text{t}} + 3}}{4}}\right)\) = 136t

first take difference in time, and then use the formula of time.
Example 13 / 16
Time taken by Sinhagad express: time is taken by Deccan queen = 8:6
Since, we know that speed is inversely proportional to time, so,

Example 15 / 16
Distance between the Two Stations = 600 km.
In the First Case, (Train From Lonavala)
Speed = 25 km/hr.
In first two hours,
∴ Time = 2 hrs.
∵ Distance = Speed × Time.
∴ Distance = 25 × 2
Distance = 50 km.
∴ Distance covered by the Train after starting from the Lonavala before the train from Khandala starts = 50 km.
Now, Train from the Khandala also starts, thus the distance between the two trains = 600 - 50
= 550 km.
Relative speed = Speed of train which starts from Lonavala + Speed of the train which starts from the Khandala
= 25 + 35
= 60 km/hr.
Now, Time at which these two trains meet after traveling = Distance between these Train/Relative Speed
= 550/60
= 55/6 hrs.
Now, In 55/6 hrs, Distance covered by the First Train after the train from the khandala starts = (55/6) × 25
= 1375/6 km.
= 229.167 km.
∴ The distance at which the Both train meets from Lonavala = Distance traveled by train from Lonavala in first two hours + Distance traveled by it after another train from the Khandala starts.
= 229.167 + 50
= 279.167 km.
∴ Both the trains meet after a distance of 279.167 km from the Lonavala.
.Ans.
In the First Case, (Train From Lonavala)
Speed = 25 km/hr.
In first two hours,
∴ Time = 2 hrs.
∵ Distance = Speed × Time.
∴ Distance = 25 × 2
Distance = 50 km.
∴ Distance covered by the Train after starting from the Lonavala before the train from Khandala starts = 50 km.
Now, Train from the Khandala also starts, thus the distance between the two trains = 600 - 50
= 550 km.
Relative speed = Speed of train which starts from Lonavala + Speed of the train which starts from the Khandala
= 25 + 35
= 60 km/hr.
Now, Time at which these two trains meet after traveling = Distance between these Train/Relative Speed
= 550/60
= 55/6 hrs.
Now, In 55/6 hrs, Distance covered by the First Train after the train from the khandala starts = (55/6) × 25
= 1375/6 km.
= 229.167 km.
∴ The distance at which the Both train meets from Lonavala = Distance traveled by train from Lonavala in first two hours + Distance traveled by it after another train from the Khandala starts.
= 229.167 + 50
= 279.167 km.
∴ Both the trains meet after a distance of 279.167 km from the Lonavala.
.Ans.
distance = speed * time
NA
take out the distance travelled by the first train and then subtract from the actual distance, then take out the distance at which they meet.
