Time Speed Distance Concepts for Bank Exams
Time, Speed & Distance Mastery (Professional Level)
Time, Speed and Distance is a core topic in bank exams. Most questions are formula-based and can be solved quickly with proper shortcuts.
1. Basic Formula
Speed = Distance / Time
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Time = Distance / Speed
2. Unit Conversion
- 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
- 1 km/h = 5/18 m/s
3. Relative Speed
Opposite direction → Add speeds Same direction → Subtract speeds
Example:
Train A = 60 km/h, Train B = 40 km/h
Opposite → 100 km/h
4. Train Concept
Time = Total Length / Speed
- Crossing pole → Train length
- Crossing platform → Train + platform
5. Average Speed
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time
For equal distance: (2xy) / (x + y)
6. Shortcut Tricks
- Use relative speed in trains
- Memorize unit conversions
- Use average speed formula
- Avoid long calculations
7. Formula Logic
Speed = Distance / Time Derived from basic motion relationship
Average speed formula comes from combining two journeys
Speed Strategy
- Identify question type quickly
- Apply correct formula
- Use relative speed directly
- Convert units carefully
Practice Questions
1. A car travels 120 km in 2 hours. Speed?
2. Convert 72 km/h into m/s
3. Two trains 50 km/h and 60 km/h opposite direction. Relative speed?
4. Average speed if 40 km/h and 60 km/h (same distance)?
Speed and Accuracy Go Together
