Time, Speed & Distance
1) Abhishek drives his bike at the speed of 150 km/h. What is the distance covered by him in 3
hours?
2) Speed of Karan is 40 km/h and speed of Arjun is 60 km/h. What is the ratio of time taken by
each to cover the same distance?
3) The ratio of speeds of A is to B is 2:3 and therefore A takes 20 minutes less time than B takes.
What is the ratio of time taken by A and B?
4) Without stoppage, a train travels a certain distance with average speed of 60 km/h, and with
stoppage, it covers same distance with an average speed of 40 km/h. On average, how many
a. minutes per hour does the train stop during the journey?
5) A and B travel the same distance at the rate of 8 km/h and 10 km/h respectively. If A takes 30
minutes longer than B, the distance travelled by B is?
6) Akhil travels first half of the distance at 50 m/s and second half at 75 m/s. The total distance
travelled is 3 km. Find his average speed of travel for the entire journey.
7) Walking 6/7th of his usual speed, a man is 12 minutes too late. The usual time taken by him to
cover that distance is:
8) Narayan Murthy walking at a speed of 20 km/h reaches his college 10 minutes late. Next time
he increases his speed by 5 km/h, but finds that he is still late by 4 minutes. What is the
distance of his college from his house
9) A train passes an electric pole in 10 seconds and a platform 120 m long in 18 seconds. Find the
length of the train.
10) A train 110 m in length travels at 60 km/h. How much time does the train take in passing a man
walking at 6 km/h against the train?
11) Two trains are 2 km apart and their lengths are 200 m and 300 m. They are approaching
towards each other with a speed of 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively. After how much time will
they cross each other?
12) A train covers 180 km distance in 4 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less.
What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in 1 hour?
13) If a train runs at 40 km/h, it reaches its destination late by 11 minutes but if it runs at 50 km/h,
it is late by 5 minutes only. The correct time for the train to complete its journey is
14) Two trains of equal length are running on parallel tracks in the same direction at 46 km/h and
36 km/h respectively. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each
train is
15) A train 300 m long is running at a speed of 90 km/h. How many seconds will it take to cross a
200 m long train running in the opposite direction at a speed of 60 km/hr?
16) Two trains are moving in opposite directions at speeds of 60 km/h and 90 km/h. Their lengths
are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train
in seconds is
17) A man can row a boat in downstream at 12 km/h and in upstream at 8 km/h. Find the speed of
the boat that the man can row in still water
18) Vikas can row a certain distance downstream in 6 hours and return the same distance in 9
hours. If the stream flows at the rate of 3 km/h, find the speed of Vikas in still water.
19) A motor boat takes 12 hours to go downstream and it takes 24 hours to return the same
distance. Find the ratio of the speed of boat in still water to speed of stream
20) A motor boat can travel at 10 km/h in still water. It traveled 91 km downstream in a river and
then returned, taking altogether 20 hours. Find the rate of flow of the river.
21) A boat travels upstream from B to A and downstream from A to B in 3 hours. If the speed of the
boat in still water is 9 km/h and the speed of the current is 3 km/h, the distance between A and
B is
22) Speed of boat in standing water is 9 km/h and the speed of the stream is 1.5 km/h. a man rows
to a place at a distance of 105km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken is
23) A person can swim at a speed of 9 km/h in still water. If the speed of the stream is 6 km/h, then
how long does he take to swim up to a distance of 9 km and return at the starting point?
24) A man can row 4.5 km/h in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as
to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream.
25) A man rows a boat at a speed of 5 km/hr in still water. Find the speed of a river if it takes him 1 hr to
row a boat to a place 2.4 km away and return back.
