Time and Distance Practice & Questions
Time and Distance tests velocity calculations, unit conversions, and spatial motion under constant or variable speeds.
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).
