Concept of Time and Distance

1.) Speed: The rate at which an object is moving is known as its speed. It is the distance
travelled per unit time e.g. an object moving at 20 m/s shows that the object covers a
distance of 20 meters every second.

The formula for speed: Speed =

Therefore, Time =
And, Distance = Speed x Time

2.) A man covers a certain distance D1 km at a speed of S1 km/hr and, D2 km at a speed of

S2 km/hr, his average speed during the whole journey is given by:

Average speed = km/hr

3.) A man travels from P to Q at a speed of S1 km/hr and returns from Q to P at S2 km/hr, his
average speed during the whole journey is given by:

Average speed =

4.) Two men A and B start travelling at the same time from points P and Q towards each other
and after crossing each other A takes time T1 to reach Q and B takes time T2 to reach P,:

5.) If a man travels at of his usual or original speed, the change in time taken to cover the
same distance is given by:

Change in time = * usual or original time

6.) A man covers a distance D in time T1 with speed S1. When he travels at speed S2 and
covers the same distance D in time T2.

You can equate any two of the above relations to find the unknown values.

7.) A body covers a certain distance at a speed of S1 km/hr without stoppage and with
stoppage it covers the same distance at S2 km/hr, the stoppage time per hour is given by:

Concept of Boats and Streams

1) Still water: The water of a river or any other water body which is not flowing is known as still
water.
2) Stream: It is the flowing water of a river which is moving at a certain speed.
3) Upstream: The boat or a swimmer moving against the stream is known as moving upstream
i.e. against the flow of water.
4) Downstream: The boat or a swimmer moving along the stream is known as moving
downstream i.e. along the flow of water.

Some Important Points

1) If the speed of the boat or swimmer is X km/hr and the speed of the stream is Y km/hr,
The speed of the boat or swimmer in the direction of the stream is known as speed
downstream. It is given by;
Speed downstream= (X+Y) km/hr
And, the speed of the boat or swimmer against the stream is known as speed upstream. It is
given by;
Speed upstream= (X-Y) km/hr

2) Speed of man or boat in still water is given by;

= (speed downstream + speed upstream)

3) Speed of the stream is given by;

= (speed downstream - speed upstream)

4) A man can row at a speed of X km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is Y km/hr
and the man rows the same distance up and down the stream, his average speed for the
entire journey is given by;

= km/hr

5) A man can row a boat in still water at X km/hr. If the stream is flowing at Y km/hr it takes
him t hours more to row upstream than to row downstream to cover the same distance.
The distance is given by;

Distance =

6) A man can swim in still water at X km/hr. If the stream is flowing at Y km/hr it takes him t
hours to reach a place and return back to the starting point. The distance between the
place and the starting point is given by;

Distance =

7) A boat or swimmer covers a certain distance downstream in t1 hours and returns the
same distance upstream in t2 hours. If the speed of the stream is Y km/hr, the speed of boat
or man in still water is given by;

=Y km/hr

8) A boat or swimmer takes K times as long to move upstream as to move downstream to

cover a certain distance. If the speed of the stream is Y km/hr, the speed of the boat or
man in still water is given by;

=Y km/hr

Concept of Races and Games

Some Important Points
1. The competitions of running, driving cars, riding on the horses or bicycles, and rowing
boats, etc., are generally called races.

Day 16 Exercise
Quantitative Aptitude

2. The places like grounds, roads, rivers, lakes, etc., where races take place are called
the race course.
3. In any race, the number of participants can be 2 or more. The point from where the race
starts is known as the starting point.
4. The point at which the race ends is called the goal or winning post.
5. If in a race all the participants reach the goal at the same time, the race is called dead
heat. Therefore, dead heat is that type of race which ends in a draw, i.e., no one is winner
or loser.
6. Suppose A, and B are two contestants in a race. If before the start of the race, A is at the
starting point and B is ahead of A by 14 meters, we say that A gives B, a start of 14 meters.
7. In this case, to cover a race of 100 meters, A will have to cover 100 meters while B will
have to cover only (100 - 14) = 86 meters.
8. In a 100 m race, 'A can give B 14 m' or 'A can give B a start of 14 m' or 'A beats B by 14 m'
means while A runs 100 m, B runs (100 - 14) = 86 m.
9. A game of 200, means that the person among the participants who scores 200 points first
is the winner'.
10. If A scores 200 points while B scores only 160 points, we can say that A can give B 40
points.

Concept of Problem on Trains and Formulas

Some Important Points
Keep same units for all values mentioned in the problem i.e. as per the units of the given
answers convert kilometer per hour (km/hr) to meters per second (m/s) and vice versa. In a
similar way, convert meter (m) into centimeter (cm) and vice versa. See the examples given
below:

Formula to convert Km/hr into m/s:

o 1km is equal to 1000 meters
o 1 hours is equal to 3600 seconds

o 1Km/hr is equal to meter/sec or m/s

So, to convert a value in Km/hr to m/s, we need to multiply it with See the example given
below:

Quantitative Aptitude

60 km/hr* = 16.7 m/s

Formula to convert m/s to Km/hr

o 1 meter is equal to 1/1000 km
o 1 sec is equal to 1/3600 hours

o 1 m/s is equal to
So, to covert a value in m/s to Km/hr, we will multiply it with 18/5. See the example given
below:

20 m/s* =72 km/hr

Important Point on Trains

1. The distance travelled by a train to cross a pole or person is equal to the length of the
train.
2. The distance travelled by train when it crosses a platform is equal to the sum of the length
of the train and length of the platform.
3. When two trains are travelling in opposite directions at speeds V1 m/s and V2 m/s then
their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds (V1+V2) m/s.
4. Two trains are travelling in the same direction at V1 m/s and V2 m/s where V1 > V2 then
their relative speed will be equal to the difference between their individual speeds (V1-
V2) m/s.
5. When two trains of length X meters and Y meters are moving in opposite direction at V1

m/s and V2 m/s then the time taken by the trains to cross each other is =
6. When two trains of length X meters and Y meters are moving in same direction at V1 and

V2 where V1> V2 then the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train =
7. When two trains X and Y start moving towards each other at the same time from points A
and B and after crossing each other the train X reaches point B in a seconds and train Y
reaches points A in b seconds, then
Train X speed: Train Y speed = b1/2: a1/2
