Speed X Time = Distance

100 km/h X 5 Hrs = 500 km

50 km/h X 10 Hrs = 500 km

50 km/h X 20 Hrs = 1000 km

100 km/h X 20 Hrs = 2000 km

A man drives his car at 50 km/h speed for 3 hrs. then distance?
150 km

Speed X Time = Distance

50 km/h X 3 hrs = 150 km

Example
In a 1 km race, A beats B by 200 m and 10 sec. Then what is A’s
speed?

Start B A

0 800 1000

So, B is capable of covering 200 mts in 10 sec

200 𝑚 1000 𝑚
B’s speed = = 20 m/s A’s speed =
10 𝑠 40 𝑠
Time taken by A to reach 1000 mts and B to
reach 800 is same = 25 m/s

Tiem taken by B to 800 𝑚

reach 800 m = = 40 s

In a kilometer race A beats B by 200 meters and B
beats C by 100 meters. Then A beats C by how many
meters?

Start B A

In a kilometer race A beats B by 200 meters and B

Example
A girl walks home from her office in 5 min which is 300 mts away.
If she increases her speed by 3.6 km/h. Then what is the time taken
by her?
She is increasing = 3.6 km/h
speed by
300 𝑚
The girls speed = = 1 m/s = 3.6 X

X 60 = 1 m/s

Her current speed = 2 m/s

Example
A bus travels at 50 km/h. But due to stoppages the covered only
40 km in one hour. So how much time the bus stopped for?

Total loss is 10 km out of 50 km per hour

So, loss = hr
= hr
= X 60 min
= 12 min
The bus stopped for 12 min in that hour
Example
The speeds of two persons are in the ratio 5 : 2. If the first person
takes 45 minutes less to cover a distance, how many minutes would
the second person take to cover the same distance?

Speed ratio
A B
5 : 2

Time ratio
A : B
2 : 5 3 unit = 45 min
30 : 75
min min So, the 2nd person can cover it in 75 min
ExampleDistance = Speed X Time
While going at 4/5th of the speed a man reaches 25 min late.
Then what is the normal time taken by him?

4 Speed ratio
sxt = 𝑠X ( t + 25) 1 : 4/5
5
5 : 4
t = x ( t + 25 )
5 t = 4 t + 100 Time ratio
t = 100 4 : 5
1 unit = 25 min

So, 4 unit of normal time

taken is 4x25 = 100 min
ExampleDistance = Speed X Time
A person travels at 35 kmph, he realised that he will be late by 1 hour
and if he increased his speed by 15 km/h he will reached 30 min
early. Then what is the distance?
Speed ratio
35 x (t + 1) = 50 X ( t – 0.5) 35 : 50
7 : 10
35 t + 35 = 50 t – 25
60 = 15 t Time ratio
60/15 = t 10 : 7
T=4 3 unit = 1.5 hr
So, 5 : 3.5
ExampleDistance = Speed X Time
A person travels 35 km in one hour, then he realized that he will be
late by 1 hour and if he increased his speed by 15 km/h he will
reached 30 min early. Then what is the distance?
Speed ratio
35+ 35 x (t + 1) = 35 + 15 X ( t – 0.5) 35 : 50
7 : 10
T=4
Time ratio
10 : 7
3 unit = 1.5 hr
So, 5 : 3.5

So distance = 35 + ( 5 x 35 ) = 210
ExampleDistance = Speed X Time
At normal speed a man reaches office 6 min late. When he increases
his speed by 20% he reaches the office 2 min early. Then what is the
normal time taken by him?

120 Speed ratio

sxt = 𝑠X ( t - 8) 100: 120
100
5 : 6
t= x(t-8)
t = 1.2 t – 9.6 Time ratio
0.2 t = 9.6 6 : 5
T = 48 1 unit = 8 min

So, 6 unit of normal time

taken is 6 x 8 = 48 min
 Example
If a man travels at a speed of 25 km/h, he reaches 10 min early
and when he decreases his speed by 5 km/h he reaches 15 min late.
What is the…
(1) Distance (2) Optimum time (3) On time reaching speed
Distance = Speed X Time Distance = Speed X Time
25 x (t-10) 2
= 0
X ( t+15 ) 20 x (110+15) = Distance
60 60 60

5 ( t – 10 ) = 4 x ( t + 15 ) 125 = 3d
5t – 50 = 4t + 60 (125/3) = d
T = 110
Speed = D / T 125 / 3
= Speed
110 / 60

X = 250/11 km/h
 Example
If a man travels at a speed of 25 km/h, he reaches 10 min early
and when he decreases his speed by 5 km/h he reaches 15 min late.
What is the…
(1) Distance (2) Optimum time (3) On time reaching speed
Distance = Speed X Time
Speed ratio D = 25 km/h X =
25 : 20
= km
5 : 4
Time ratio
4 : 5
Speed = Distance / Time
1 unit = 25 min
S= /
So, 4 x 25 : 5 x 25 = X
100 min : 125 min = km/h
10 min early : 15 min late
110 min : 110 min

Example
Two car starting from point A and point B towards Point B and point
A respectively, the distance between point A and point B is 198km.
They meet after 8hrs from the point of starting. If the velocity of the
car moving from point A to B is 12kmph more than the velocity of the
car moving from point B to A. Then the velocity of the faster car is?

8 X + 8 (X+12) = 198
8 X + 8 X + 96 = 198
16 X = 102
X = 6.375 Speed of the slow car

Speed of the faster car = slow car speed +12

= 18.375 km/h
Concept: Relative
speed
Relative speed:
• It’s nothing but the relation between the speeds of two objects at
motion or at rest.
• When these two objects are moving at same direction the
relative speed is the difference between their speeds.
• When these two objects are moving at opposite direction
the relative speed is the sum of their speeds.
