How To Calculate Time, Distance & Speed Problems in 2 Minutes!!! [Short Notes]

Calculating Time, Distance & Speed Problems is troublesome for many of the students. Here is a one-stop Quantitative Aptitude solution for Time Distance & Speed Problems of competitive examination.

Formulas for Time, Distance & Speed Problems:

The basic formulas are as follows:
    Distance = Speed x Time
    Time = Distance/Speed
    Speed= Distance/Time

Time Distance Speed Formulas [Advanced Level]

Km per Hour to Meter per Second Conversion :

x km/hr = [x multiplied by 5/18] m/second

Meter per Second to Km per Hour Conversion :

x m/sec = [x multiplied by 18/5] km/hour

Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr. Then,

the average speed during the whole journey i

s [2xy/x+y]

km/hr.

How do I calculate speed time and distance? 

There are three values in this kind of questions.

1. Time
2. Speed
3. Distance

Out of these any two values will be given in the problem you have to calculate the third one using formulas.
These problems are not as easy as it looks. Sometimes there are tricky questions asked. You have to convert units from Km per Hour to Meter per Second or Meter per Second to Km per Hour.

 Also there are various type of questions asked in this topic like:
1. Relative Speed
2. Same distance different speeds
3. Point of Meeting
4. Point of Meeting of objects coming from same direction & opposite direction.

We'll upload a practice set for Time Distance speed problems very soon to help students.
Till then stay tuned with us.
