 Distance
Formula
Speed, Time and Distance:
Speed= (Distance/Time)
Time = (Distance/Speed)
Distance= Speed X Time
 km/hr to m/sec conversion:
x km/hr= (x X 5/18) m/sec
m/sec to km/hr conversion:
x m/sec = (x X 18/5) km/hr

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 is :
(2xy/x+y) km/hr
 A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5
minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
a.3.6
b.7.2
c.8.4
d.5.2
 A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He
travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21
km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr.
Find the total journey in km.
220 km
224 km
230 km
234 km
 The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7
: 8. If the second train runs 400 km in 4 hours,
then the speed of the first train is:
70 km/hr
75 km/hr
84 km/hr
87.5 km/hr
 If a person walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10
km/hr, he would have walked 20 km more. The
actual distance travelled by him is:
50 km
56 km
70 km
80 km
 An aeroplane covers a certain distance at a
speed of 240 kmph in 5 hours. To cover the
same distance in 1hours, it must travel at a
speed of:
a. 300 kmph
b. 360 kmph
c. 600 kmph
d. 720 kmph
 Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54
kmph and including stoppages, it is 45 kmph.
For how many minutes does the bus stop per
hour?
a.9 min
b.10 min
c.12 min
d.20 min
 Ratio , Proportion and
If a:x=x:b thenPartnership
x2 =ab
if x is third proportional of a and b then
a:b = b:x
x=b2/a
If a:b=m:n and b:c=p:q
then a:c= m/n X p/q
This Rule is extended for any number of ratios.
If the sum of two numbers is x and their difference
is y, ratio of two numbers is
(x+y) : (x-y)
Mean Proportional of 32 and 2 is x =
a. 1
b.8
c.16
d.64
If a:b=2:3 , b:c=4:5 and c:d=6:7 then a:d=?

a.2:7
b.16:35
c.12:21
d.None
The ratio of the sum and difference of two
numbers is 5:2. What is the ratio of two
numbers?
a. 7:3
b.3:7
c. 1:10
d.5:2
A and B together have Rs. 1210. If of A's amount is

have?

a. Rs. 460
b. Rs. 484
c. Rs. 550
d. Rs. 664
Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than
a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:

a.2:5
b.3:5
c. 4:5
d. 6:7
A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D
