Model 1 Basic Time & Distance using formula Section-Wise Topic Notes With Detailed Explanation And Example Questions

Answer: (c)

If the required distance be x km, then

$x/3 - x/4 = 1/2$

${4x - 3x}/12 = 1/2$

$x/12 = 1/2$ ⇒ x = 6 km

Using Rule 9,

Here $S_1 = 4, t_1 = x, S_2 = 3, t_2 = x + 1/2$

$S_1t_1 = S_2t_2$

$4 × x = 3(x + 1/2)$

$4x - 3x = 3/2 x = 3/2$

Distance= $4 × 3/2$ = 6 kms

Answer: (b)

Speed of train = 60 kmph

Time = 210 minutes

= $210/60$ hours or $7/2$ hours

Distance covered

= $60 × 7/2$ = 210 km

Time taken at 80 kmph

= $210/80 = 21/8$ hours

= 2$5/8$ hours

Using Rule 9,

Here, $S_1 = 60, t_1 = 210/60 hrs, S_2 = 80, t_2$ = ?

$S_1t_1 = S_2t_2$

60 × $210/60 = 80 × t_2$

$t_2 = 21/8$ hrs = 2$5/8$ hrs

Answer: (a)

Using Rule 1,

Speed = $\text"Distance"/\text"Time"$

= $200/24$ m/s

$200/24$ m/s = $200/24 × 18/5$

= 30 km/h [Since, x m/s = $18/5$ x km/h]

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

Time = 10$1/2$ hours = $21/2$ hours

Speed = 40 kmph

Distance = Speed × Time

= $40 × 21/2$ = 420 km
