Time & Distance
Suppose a man covers a distance at āxā kmph and an equal distance at āyā kmph, and then average speed during his whole journey is kmph
Trains
- Lengths of trains are āxā km and āyā km, moving at āuā kmph and āvā kmph in the same direction, then the time taken y the over-taker train to cross the slower train is hrs
- Time taken to cross each other hrs
- If two trains start at the same time from two points A and B towards each other and after crossing they take a and b hours in reaching B and A respectively.
Boats & Streams
If the speed of a boat in still water is and the speed of the stream is v , then: . and
If the speed downstream is a km ā hr and the speed upstream is b km ā hr, then: Speed in still water . and Rate of stream km ā hr.
