Speed, Time and Distance
A gun is fired at a distance of 1.34 km from Geeta. She hears the sound after 4 seconds. The speed at which sound travels is

a) 325 m/sec
b) 335 m/sec
c) 330 m/sec
d) 300 m/sec



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 335 m/sec
Solution Is : Speed of sound
=Distance/speed
=((1.34*1000)/4)metre/second
=(1340/4) metre/second
=335 metre/second
If I walk at 5Km/hr, I miss a train by 7 minutes. However, if I walk at 6 km/hr I reach the station 5 minutes before the departure of the train. The distance between my house and the station is

a) 5 km
b) 6.5 km
c) 7 km
d) 6 km



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 6 km
Solution Is : Distance of station from house
=xkm(let)
Difference of time
=7+5=12minutes =12/60 hour =1/5 hour
Time =distance/speed
Therefore (x/5)-(x/6)=1/5
⇒((6x-5x)/30)=1/5
⇒x/30=1/5
x=30/5 =6Km
A boat goes 24 km upstream and 28 km downstream in 6 hours. It goes 30 km upstream and 21 km downstream in 6 hours and 30 minutes. The speed of the boat in still water is

a) 8 km/hr
b) 9 km/hr
c) 12 km/hr
d) 10 km/hr



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 10 km/hr
Solution Is : 24/(x-y) + 28/(x+y) = 6
30/(x-y) + 21/(x+y) = 6.5
Taking 1/(x-y) as X and 1/(x+y) as Y
24X + 28Y = 6
30X + 21Y = 6.5
solving for X and Y=⇒
X = 1/6 and Y = 1/14
so x-y = 6 and x+y = 14 hence
x = 10 kmph and y = 4kmph
A and B are 20 km apart. A can walk at an average speed of 4 km/hour and B at 6 km/ hr. If they start walking towards each other at 7 a.m., when they will meet?

a) 8:00:00 AM
b) 8.30 AM
c) 9:00:00 AM
d) 10:00:00 AM



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 9:00:00 AM
Solution Is : 20 Km A<------------------------------------>B -->4kmph 6kmph<--
Relative speed = 4 + 6 =10 kmph
Time required to cover 20 km = 20/10 = 2 Hr
They started at 7 AM, so they will meet at 9 AM.
A policeman starts to chase a thief. When the thief goes 10 steps the policeman moves 8 steps. 5 steps of the policeman is equal to 7 steps of the thief. The ratio of the speeds of the policeman and the thief is

a) 25 : 28
b) 25 : 26
c) 28 : 25
d) 56 : 25



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 28 : 25
Solution Is : 5 steps of Policeman = 7 steps of thief
⇒ 1 step of Policeman = 7/5 steps of thief
⇒ 8 Steps of Policeman = 8 x 7/5 steps of thief = 56/5 steps of thief. ? Ratio of speeds of policeman and thief = ratio of distance covered by policeman and thief in same time
= In same time policeman moves 8 steps and thief moves 10 steps
= 56/5 : 10 (because as we calculated earlier 8 steps of policeman = 56/5 steps of thief )
= 56 : 50 = 28 : 25
An aeroplane covers a distance at a 340 kmph in 8 hours. To cover the same distance in 2 2/3 hour, it must travel at what speed?

a) 660 km/hr
b) 700 km/hr
c) 680 km/hr
d) 1020 km/hr



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 1020 km/hr
Solution Is : Distance = (340 x 8) = 2720 km.
Speed = Distance/Time
Given time is 2 2/3 hours = 2 + 2/3 = (2*3) + 2/3 = 8/3 hours
Therefore, speed = 2720/(8/3)
Required speed = 2720 * 3 / 8 = 340 * 3 = 1020 km/hr
Sarita and Julie start walking from the same place in the opposite direction. If Julie walks at a speed of 2½ km/hr and Sarita at a speed of 2 km/hr, in how much time will they be 18 km apart?

a) 4 hrs
b) 4.5 hrs
c) 5 hrs
d) 4.8 hrs



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 4 hrs
Solution Is : Distance = 125+115 = 240 m
Relative speed = 33+39 = 72 km/hr
= (72×10)/36 m/s
Time = distance/speed
= 240 / (72×10)/36
= 240×36 / 720
= 12 s
Two trains 125 meters and 115 meters in length, are running towards each other on parallel lines, one at the rate of 33 km/hr and the other at 39 km/hr. how much time (in seconds) will they take to pass each other from the moment they meet?

a) 8
b) 10
c) 12
d) 15



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 12
Solution Is : 650 = P(1+R/100)…. (i)
676 = P (1 + R/100)2….. (ii) ii is divided by I
(1 + R/100) = 26/25…… (iii)
Substituting iii in I, we get
650 = P x 26/25
26P = 16250
P = 625
A certain distance is coverec at a certain speed. If half of this distance is covered in double the time, the ratio of the two speeds is

a) 1:2
b) 4 : 1
c) 1 : 4
d) 2 : 1



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 4 : 1
Solution Is :
A man performs 2/15 of the total journey by train, 2/20 by bus and the remaining 10 km on foot. His total journey in km is

a) 15.6
b) 24
c) 16.4
d) 12.8



Answer
Solution
Correct Answer Is : 24
Solution Is : (2) If the total journey be of x km,then
2x/15+9x/20+10=x
⇒x-2x/15-9x/20=10
⇒25x/60=10
X=24 km
