Time Distance Speed Formula For Bank Exams

❖ Speed = Distance/Time
❖ Time =Distance/Speed
❖ Distance = (Speed × Time)
❖ Average Speed= Total Distance / Total Time
❖ 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec
❖ 1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr
❖ If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a: b, then the ratio of the times
taken by them to cover the same distance is 1/a: 1/b =b: a.
❖ Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal
distance at y km/hr. Then, the average speed during the whole journey
is (2xy /x+y) km/hr
❖ If two people A and B set out from two points P and Q at the same time
and cross paths after spending T1 and T2 hours getting to P and Q,
respectively, then (A’s speed) / (B’s speed) equals √(T2 / T1)

Average speed formula for time distance speed for

bank exams

Average Speed = (Total distance travelled)/(Total time taken)

● If the distance is constant: Average speed = 2xy/x+y.

Where, x and y are the two speeds at which the same distance has been
covered.
● If the time taken is constant: Average speed = (x + y)/2.
Where, x and y are the two speeds at which we travelled for the same time.

Time Distance Speed Formula For Trains

● When the Speed of the two trains is S1 and S2 respectively and lengths
are L1 and L2, then,

Direction Relative Speed Time Taken

If train moving in the S1+S2 [(L1 + L2)/( S1+S2)]

opposite direction
 While moving in the S1-S2 [(L1 + L2)/ (S1- S2)
same direction

● If two trains of lengths L1 and L2 cross each other at the speeds of S1

and S2, respectively, in time t, the equation is given as S1+S2 =
(L1+L2)/t
● If a train of length L1 passing another train of length L2 passes another
train of length L2 at a speed formula is defined as S1 = (L1+L2)/t
● If a train of length L1 passing another train of length L2 passes another
train of length L2 at a speed formula is expressed as S1 = (L1+L2)/t
● If the train passes an electric pole then,
1) Length of the Train= Train’s speed × Time
2) Time = Length of the Train/speed
3) Speed = Length of the Train / Time

Time distance speed conversions

● 1 kilometer= 1000 meters = 0.6214 mile

● 1 mile= 1.609 kilometer
● 1 hour= 60 minutes= 60*60 seconds= 3600 seconds
● 1 mile = 1760 yards
● 1 yard = 3 feet
● 1 mile = 5280 feet
● 1 km / hour = 5 / 18 m / sec
● 1 m / sec = 18 / 5 km / hour = 3.6 km / hour
● 1 km/hr = 5/8 miles/hour
● 1 yard = 3 feet
● 1 mph = (1 x 1760) / (1 x 3600) = 22/45 yards/sec
● 1 mph = (1 x 5280) / (1 x 3600) = 22/15 ft/sec

Units of time distance speed in the time distance

speed formula for bank exams

Time = seconds(s), minutes (min), hours (hr)

Distance = (meters (m), kilometers (km), miles, feet
Speed = m/s, km/hr
