Time And Distance Pdf Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps po prelims 2024 2025

Question :1

The time taken by a man to walk five times around the boundary of a square field having 16 hectares as area, at the rate of 5 km per hour is

Answer: (d)

Perimeter = 4 × $√160000$ = 1600 m

Time = $\text"Distance"/\text"Speed" = {1600 × 5 × 60}/5000$ = 96 min

None of these

Question :2

A train 270 metre long is running at a speed of 36 km per hour, then it will cross a bridge of length 180 metres in :

Answer: (c)

Speed of train = 36 kmph

= $(36 × 5/18)$ m /sec = 10 m/sec.

Required time = $\text"length of train + Bridge"/\text"Speed of train"$

= ${270 + 180}/10$ = 45 seconds

Question :3

Points A and B are 70 km apart on a highway. One car starts form A and the another one from B at the same time. If they travel in the same direction, they meet in 7 hours. But if they travel towards each other, they meet in one hour. The speeds of the two cars are, respectively.

Answer: (a)

Let the speed of the cars be x km/h and y km/h, respectively.

Their relative speeds when they are moving in same direction = (x – y) km/h.

Their relative speeds when they are in opposite directions = (x + y) km/h.

Now, $70/{x + y} = 1$ or x + y = 70 …(1)

and $70/(x - y) = 7$ or x – y = 10 …(2)

Solving (1) and (2), we have

x = 40 km/h and y = 30 km/h.

Question :4

Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train is 45 km/h and including stoppages, it is 36 km/h. For how many minutes does the train stop per hour ?

Answer: (c)

Due to stoppges the train travels

(45 – 36) = 9 km less in an hour than it could have travelled without stoppages.

Thus train stops per hour for $9/45$ × 60 = 12 min.

Question :5

A man can row 4.5 km/hr in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream.

Answer: (b)

If the rate of the stream is x, then 2(4.5 – x) = 4.5 + x

⇒ 9 – 2x = 4.5 + x

⇒ 3x = 4.5 ⇒ x = 1.5 km/hr
