Time and Distance Questions

FACTS  AND  FORMULAE  FOR  TIME  AND  DISTANCE

1.Speed = DistanceTime,  Time=DistanceSpeed, Distance= Speed×Time 

 

2. x km/hr = x×518 m/sec

 

3. x m/sec = x×185 km/hr

4. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b , then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is or b : a

5. 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 2xyx+ykm/hr.

Q:

A person driving at the speed of 45 kmph reaches office 1 minute early while she reaches 3 minutes late if driving 40 kmoh. What is the distance (in Km) that she is covering?

 

A) 24 B) 28
C) 32 D) 30
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 30

Explanation:

Difference in time taken = 4min = 1/15 hr

Let the total distance covered by person be D km.

Then,

D/40 – D/45 = 1/15

⇒ 5D = 120

⇒ D = 24 km

∴ Distance covered by person is 24 km.
