SOLUTIONS ( ALSO SEE SHORT CUT AFTER THAT ) :

ANS1. Let the distance be D so Time1= D/50 Time2= D/40 Time1-Time2=20 so D/50-D/40=20 solving the equation we get D=4,000

ANS2. Let the distance be D so Time1= D/55 Time2= D/42 Time1-Time2=26 so D/55-D/42=26 solving the equation we get D=4,620

SHORT CUT for such problems: D= (Time_Difference * Speed1 *Speed2)/ (Speed1 - Speed2)

ANS1= 20*50*40/(50-40)= 4,000 ANS 2.= 26*55*42/(55-42)= 4,620 ANS 3.= 30*59*44 /(59-44)= 5,192

Formulae:

I)Speed = Distance/Time

II)Time = Distance/speed

III) Distance = speed*time

IV) 1km/hr = 5/18 m/s

V)1 m/s = 18/5 Km/hr

VI)If the ratio of the speed of A and B is a:b,then the ratio of the time taken by them to cover the same distance is 1/a : 1/b or b:a

VII) suppose a man covers a distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph.then the average speed during the whole journey is (2xy/x+y)kmph

Problems

1)A person covers a certain distance at 7kmph .How many meters does he cover in 2 minutes.

Solution:: speed=72kmph=72*5/18 = 20m/s distance covered in 2min =20*2*60 = 2400m

2)If a man runs at 3m/s. How many km does he run in 1hr 40min

Solution:: speed of the man = 3*18/5 kmph = 54/5kmph Distance covered in 5/3 hrs=54/5*5/3 = 18km

3)Walking at the rate of 4knph a man covers certain distance in 2hr 45 min. Running at a speed of 16.5 kmph the man will cover the same distance in.

Solution:: Distance=Speed* time 4*11/4=11km New speed =16.5kmph therefore Time=D/S=11/16.5 = 40min

Complex Problems

1)A train covers a distance in 50 min ,if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an average.The speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of journey to 40min will be.

Solution:: Time=50/60 hr=5/6hr Speed=48mph distance=S*T=48*5/6=40km time=40/60hr=2/3hr

New speed = 40* 3/2 kmph= 60kmph

2)Vikas can cover a distance in 1hr 24min by covering 2/3 of the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5kmph.the total distance is?

Solution:: Let total distance be S total time=1hr24min A to T :: speed=4kmph diistance=2/3S T to S :: speed=5km distance=1-2/3S=1/3S 21/15 hr=2/3 S/4 + 1/3s /5 84=14/3S*3 S=84*3/14*3 = 6km

3)walking at of his usual speed ,a man is late by 2 hr. the usual time is.

Solution:: Usual speed = S Usual time = T Distance = D New Speed is S New time is 4/3 T

4/3 T T = 5/2 T=15/2 = 7

4)A man covers a distance on scooter .had he moved 3kmph faster he would have taken 40 min less. If he had moved 2kmph slower he would have taken 40min more.the distance is.

Solution:: Let distance = x m Usual rate = y kmph x/y x/y+3 = 40/60 hr 2y(y+3) = 9x 1 x/y-2 x/y = 40/60 hr y(y-2) = 3x 2

divide 1 & 2 equations by solving we get x = 40

5)Excluding stoppages,the speed of the bus is 54kmph and including stoppages,it is 45kmph.for how many min does the bus stop per hr.

Solution:: Due to stoppages,it covers 9km less. time taken to cover 9 km is [9/54 *60] min = 10min

6)Two boys starting from the same place walk at a rate of 5kmph and 5.5kmph respectively.wht time will they take to be

8.5km apart, if they walk in the same direction

Solution:: The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph 5kmph = 0.5 kmph Distance between them is 8.5 km Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs

7)2 trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200km apart and going in opposite direction cross each other ata distance of 110km from one of the stations.what is the ratio of their speeds.

Solution:: In same time ,they cover 110km & 90 km respectively so ratio of their speed =110:90 = 11:9

8)Two trains start from A & B and travel towards each other at speed of 50kmph and 60kmph resp. At the time of the meeting the second train has traveled 120km more than the first.the distance between them.

Solution:: Let the distance traveled by the first train be x km then distance covered by the second train is x + 120km x/50 = x+120 / 60 x= 600 so the distance between A & B is x + x + 120 = 1320 km

9)A thief steals a ca r at 2.30pm and drives it at 60kmph.the theft is discovered at 3pm and the owner sets off in another car at 75kmph when will he overtake the thief

Solution:: Let the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30pm distance covered by the thief in x hrs = distance covered by the owner in x-1/2 hr 60x = 75 ( x- ) x= 5/2 hr thief is overtaken at 2.30 pm + 2 hr = 5 pm

10)In covering distance,the speed of A & B are in the ratio of 3:4.A takes 30min more than B to reach the destion.The time taken by A to reach the destinstion is.

Solution:: Ratio of speed = 3:4 Ratio of time = 4:3 let A takes 4x hrs,B takes 3x hrs then 4x-3x = 30/60 hr x = hr Time taken by A to reach the destination is 4x = 4 * = 2 hr

11)A motorist covers a distance of 39km in 45min by moving at a speed of xkmph for the first 15min.then moving at double the

speed for the next 20 min and then again moving at his original speed for the rest of the journey .then x=?

Solution:: Total distance = 39 km Total time = 45 min D = S*T x * 15/60 + 2x * 20/60 + x * 10/60 = 39 km x = 36 kmph

12)A & B are two towns.Mr.Fara covers the distance from A t0 B on cycle at 17kmph and returns to A by a tonga running at a uniform speed of 8kmph.his average speed during the whole journey is.

Solution:: When same distance is covered with different speeds,then the average speed = 2xy / x+y =10.88kmph

13)A car covers 4 successive 3km stretches at speed of 10kmph,20kmph,30kmph&:60kmph resp. Its average speed is.

Solution:: Average speed = total distance / total time total distance = 4 * 3 = 12 km total time = 3/10 + 3/20 + 3/30 + 3/60

= 36/60 hr speed =12/36 * 60 = 20 kmph

14)A person walks at 5kmph for 6hr and at 4kmph for 12hr. The average speed is.

Solution:: avg speed = total distance/total time = 5*6 + 4*12 / 18 =4 1/3 mph

15)A bullock cart has to cover a distance of 80km in 10hrs. If it covers half of the journeyin 3/5th time.wht should be its speed to cover the remaining distance in the time left.

Solution:: Time left = 10 3/5*10 = 4 hr speed =40 km /4 hr =10 kmph

16)The ratio between the speeds of the A& B is 2:3 an therefore A takes 10 min more than the time taken by B to reach the destination.If A had walked at double the speed ,he would have covered the distance in ?

Solution:: Ratio of speed = 2:3

Ratio of time = 3:2 A takes 10 min more 3x-2x = 10 min As time=30 min >A covers the distance in 30 min ,if its speed is x -> He will cover the same distance in 15 min,if its speed doubles (i.e 2x)

17)A is twice as fast as B and B is thrice as fast as C is. The journey covered by B in?

Solution:: speeds ratio a : b = 2: 1 b : c = 3:1 Times ratio b : c = 1:3 b : c = 18:54 (if c covers in 54 min i..e twice to 18 min )

18)A man performed 3/5 of the total journey by ratio 17/20 by bus and the remaining 65km on foot.wht is his total journey.

Solution:: Let total distance is x x-(3/5x + 17/20 x) =6.5 x- 19x/20 = 6.5

x=20 * 6.5 =130 km

19)A train M leaves Meerat at 5 am and reaches Delhi at 9am . Another train N leaves Delhi at 7am and reaches Meerut at 1030am At what time do the 2 trains cross one another

Solution:: Let the distance between Meerut & Delhi be x they meet after y hr after 7am M covers x in 4hr N covers x in 3 i.e 7/2 hr speed of M =x/4 speed of N = 2x/7 Distance covered by M in y+2 hr + Distance covered by N in y hr is x x/4 (y+2) +2x/7(y)=x y=14/15hr or 56 min

A worker earns a 5% raise.A year later,the worker receives a 2.5% cut in pay & now his salary is Rs 22702.68?What was his salary to begin with?? Reply Vishy says: June 13, 2010 at 12:04 am

let us consider as x 5% raise means 105x/100 2.5% cut means 97.5/100 so,((105x/100)*(97.5/100))=22702.68 that is: 22176rs

A persons travel equal distance with speed of 3 km/hr , 4 km/hr , 56 km/hr & takes a total time of 47 minute . The total distance is Reply Saumya Roy says: October 7, 2010 at 8:58 pm

Let,us consider the distance be X km. So, in three times it will be 3X km.

then time taken in each: X/3+X/4+X/5 then,X/3+X/4+X/5=47/60 hour or,47X/60=47/60 or,X =47/60*60/47 or,X = 1 then, total distance is 3X = 3*1=3 km.

(in your problem the term 56km/hr must be wrong it have to 5km/hr) Reply soniya says: October 13, 2010 at 11:27 pm

let the same distance be x. total time = x/3(kmph)+x/4(kmph)+x/56(kmph)

47/60 = 101x/168 x=1.303 km Reply hemant says: June 29, 2010 at 6:06 pm

A takes 4 hours more than B to walk 30 km. If he doubles his speed, he takes 1 hour less time than B. Find their walking rate Reply Reply Saumya Roy says: November 4, 2010 at 11:01 pm

Just observe that, If speed of A is double. Then,he will take half time to cover the same distance with that double speed. So, when A takes the 1/2 time then their time gap is 5 hours(from 4 hours MORE to 1 hour LESS) So, when As time is normal (1) then their time gap is 2*5 = 10 hours. Now, as per question A takes 4 hours more than B to walk total distance. So,As speed is = 30/10 = 3km/hr Bs speed is = 30/6 = 5km/hr
