TIME AND DISTANCE, TIME AND TIDE
1. I am walking on a platform at 8 km/hr. A train comes from behind and crosses me in 30 sec. If the length of the train
be 300 metres, then find the speed of the train.
a) 36 km/hr b) 40 km/hr c) 45 km/hr d) 44 km/hr
2. Two men, A and B start walking from P to Q, a distance of 21 km at 3 km/hr and 4 km/hr respectively. B reaches Q and
returns immediately and meets A at a point R. What is the distance between P and R?
a) 20 km b) 18 km c) 17 km d) 16.5 km
3. An express train and a passenger train start at the same time from stations P and Q in opposite direction at the speed
of 64 km/hr and 36 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet each other, the express train has travelled 140 km more
than the passenger train. What is the distance between P and Q?
a) 500 km b) 450 km c) 760 km d) 780 km
4. A train, travelling with a certain speed passes two men walking at 3 km/hr and 5 km/hr in the same direction that of
the train, in 10 seconds and 11 seconds respectively. Find the speed of the train.
a) 20 km/hr b) 25 km/hr c) 30 km/hr d) 40 km/hr
5. In the same time a bus started from Kolkata for Siliguri and another bus started from Siliguri for Kolkata. The two buses
reached their destinations in 4 hours and 9 hours respectively after they met each other. Find the ratio of their speeds.
a) 3 : 2 b) 2 : 3 c) 5 : 3 d) 3 : 5
6. The distance between Kanpur and Bangalore by flight is 1800 km. An aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather.
The time of journey of Bangalore from Kanpur is increased by 30 minutes and the average speed for the journey was
reduced by 300 km/hr. What is the usual duration of the flight if there is no bad weather?
3 6 4 2
a) 2 hrs b) 5 hrs c) 5 hrs d) 3 hrs
7. A car travels the first one-third of a certain distance with a speed of 10 km/hr, the next one-third distance with a speed
of 20 km/hr and the last one-third distance with a speed of 60 km/hr. The average speed of the car for the whole journey
is—
a) 18 km/hr b) 24 km/hr c) 30 km/hr d) 36 km/hr
8. A, B and C are three places on a river in the same straight line such that AB = BC. A man rows from A to B and back
to place A in 4 hours, while he can row from A to C in 3 hours. How much time will he take to row from C to A?
a) 3.5 hrs b) 6.5 hrs c) 6 hrs d) 5 hrs
9. A and B are two boats which can travel at the speed of 10 km/hr and 12 km/hr in still water. They start from two points
X and Y 121 km apart and more towards each other. If a moves along the stream and B against the stream, find in how
much time they will meet each other.
a) 11 hrs. b) 5½ hrs. c) 9 hrs. d) 4½ hrs.
10. The speed of a motorboat in still water is 20 km/hr. If the time taken by the boat to travel a certain distance downstream
and return the same distance upstream is in the ratio 3 : 7, then the speed of the stream is—
a) 8 km/hr. b) 4 km/hr. c) 6 km/hr. d) 12 km/hr.

11. A boat can row 48 km downstream and return the same distance upstream in 14 hours. If the time taken by the boat to
row 4 km downstream is equal to the time taken by it to row 3 km upstream, then find the speed of stream.
a) 2 km/hr b) 0.5 km/hr c) 1 km/hr d) 1.5 km/hr

12. A man can row km/hr in still water and he finds that it takes him thrice as much time to row up than as to row

down the same distance in the river. What is the speed of the current?

a) km/hr b) km/hr c) km/hr d) km/hr

13. In a river, the ratio of the speed of the stream and speed of a boat in still water is 5 : 7. Again, the ratio of the speed of
the stream to the speed of another boat in still water is 6 : 8. What is the ratio of the speed of the first boat to that of the
second boat in still water?
a) 27 : 29 b) 21 : 20 c) 27 : 28 d) 19 : 17
