Core Concepts in Time and Distance

Questions from this topic consistently evaluate the following core principles across SSC, Railways, and Banking papers:

  • Speed-Distance-Time core formula & km/h to m/s conversion
  • Average speed formula (harmonic mean for equal distances)
  • Relative speed for bodies moving in same vs opposite directions
  • Races, circular tracks, and head-start handicaps

Exam Speed Strategy & Shortcuts

  • Multiply km/h by 5/18 to convert into m/s, and m/s by 18/5 for km/h.
  • For two equal distance legs, Average Speed = 2xy/(x+y).
