SPEED TIME & DISTANCE
1.) Dimple is travelling at a speed of 90 km per hour on a highway, while Sachin is travelling at a
speed of 108 kim per hour. What is the difference in their speeds, in metres per second?
2.) A man runs 200 metres in 24 seconds. Find His speed in Km/hr?
3.) A car covers a distance of 90 km in 50 min. What is its speed (in m/s)?
BASED ON RATIO
1.) A bus is running at a speed of 60 km/h to cover a distance in 50 min. To reduce the time of the
journey to 20 min, at what speed (in km/h) should the bus run?
2.) The distance between two towns is covered in 7 hours and 30 minutes at the speed of 72
km/h. The time saved if the speed is increased by 25% is:
A lady walks to her office every day from home and maintains a fixed time for the same. On one
day she decreases her speed by 25%. By what fraction of her usual time will she be late on that
day?
If Ram covers a certain journey at 60% of his usual speed, he reaches the destination late by 36
min. His usual time (in min) to reach the destination is:
Rajdhani Express leaves, Delhi station one and half hour late and increases its speed by 10%
and reached Patna on Scheduled time. Find usual time taken by train to reach Patna from Delhi.
A train reduced its speed by 2/5 of its usual speed and reached certain destination 3 hours
late. Find present time taken by train to reach destination.
Shatabdi Express left Delhi 40 min late. After covering half of the distance it increased its usual
speed by 1/6 of original speed and reached Chandigarh on scheduled time. Find usual time
taken by Shatabdi Express to cover complete journey.
AVERAGE SPEED
A man covers half of his journey at 20 km/h and the remaining half at 30 km/h. His average
speed is
A motor car travels the first one third of a distance with a speed of 10 km/h, the next one third of
a distance with a speed of 20 km/h and the last one third distance with a speed of 60 km/h. The
average speed of the car for the whole journey is
A man completed 30% of a journey at 6 km/h, 40% of the remaining at 4 km/h and the rest
journey at 7 km/h. The average speed of the whole journey is
Distance between two stations P and Q is 500 km. A train covers the journey from P to Q at 60
km per hour and returns back to P with a uniform speed of 40 km per hour. Find the average
speed of the train during the whole journey
A person covers a certain distance by bus at 45 km/h and immediately returns to the starting
point by car at a speed of 80 km/h. What is his average speed during the whole journey?
Go and Come Back
A man go a certain distance with x km/hr and comes back with a
speed of y km/hr. If he takes t hour to go and come back. Find the
distance?
A man goes from his house to a vegetable market at the speed of 15 km/h and walked
back at the speed of 10 km/h. If the whole journey took 2 hours 30 minutes, find the
distance from his house to the vegetable market (in km).
A student goes to school at a speed of 5 1/2 km/ h and returns at a speed of 4 km/h. If he takes
4 3/4 hours for the entire journey, then the total distance covered by the student (in km) is:
A man go a certain distance with x km/hr and he comes back with a
speed of y km/hr. If he takes t hours more to come back than go.
Find the distance.

The difference between time can be solved by the following tricks

Some important cases in speed

Early, early case '–' (subtraction)
Late, Late case '–' (subtraction)
Early, Late case '+' (Addition)
Late, Early case '+' (Addition)
A boy covers a certain distance between his house and school on a cycle. Having an average
speed of 10 km/h, he is late by 10 min. However, with an average speed of 15 km/h, he reaches
the school in 5 min, earlier. Find the distance (in km) between his house and school.
Ramesh drives from his home at a speed of 40 km/h and reaches his college 25 minutes late.
The next day he increases his speed by 10 km/h, yet he is late by 10 minutes. How far is his
college from his home?
If Raman drives his bike at a speed of 24 km/ h, he reaches his office 5 minutes late. If he drives
at a speed of 30 km/h, he reaches his office 4 minutes early. How much time (in minutes) will he
take to reach his office at a speed of 27 km/h?
A boy when goes to his school by 12 km/hr speed, reaches 20 mins late and when he covers the
distance by 16 km/hr, reaches 5 mins late. Find speed by which he may reach on time and also
find distance of his school
DECREASE AND INCREASE SPEED
When a person decreases its speed by 6 km/ h, reaches his destination 20 minutes late while
when he decreases its speed by 2 km/ h, he reaches 5 minutes late. Find actual speed of the
person?
Annu covers certain distance with her own speed, but when she reduces her speed by 10 km/hr,
her time duration for the journey increases by 40 hr, but when she increases her original speed
by 15 km/hr time taken by her is 10 hours less than the original time. Find the distance covered
by her.
If speed of a train increases by 10 km/hour then time taken to reach destination decreases by 1
hour. If speed increases by 10 km/hr further, time again reduces by 45 minutes. Find distance
covered by the train.
A train covers a certain distance at a certain speed, if the speed of the train is 6km/hr more, then
to cover the same distance it takes 6 hours less. But, if the speed of the train is 6 km/hr less
then it would take 10 hrs more to cover the same distance. Find the distance covered by the
train.
TWO MODE OF TRANSPORT
Vikash went to city from his village which is 48 km far by two mode of communi-cation. He
covered some part of distance by cycle and rest part by bus. Average speed of cycle is 16 km/h
