Mathematical Aptitude MCQ - Time and Distance

6 The two trains of respective lengths 160 m and 200 m travel at the speeds of 48 m per second and 52 m per second respectively in opposite direction to each other. What is the total time taken by them to cross each other?

Relative speed = 48 + 52 = 100 m/s
Total distance covered by both the trains = 160 + 200 = 360 m
Speed = Distance/Time
∴ 100 = 360/Time
∴ Time = 3.6 seconds

7 A person crosses a 1200m long street in 10 minutes. What is his speed in kmph?

Speed = Distance/Time = 1,200 m/600 s = 2 m/s.
Speed in kmph = 2 × 18/5 = 7.2 kmph

8 A person completes a journey of 48 km in 2 hours. How much time will he take to cover a distance of 252 km?

Here, Speed = 48/2 = 24 kmph
Time taken = 252/24 = 10 1/2 hrs

9 A train completed half a trip at 30 miles per hour and the other half at 60 miles per hour. If the whole trip was of 20 miles, then how much time did the train take to complete the trip?

Average speed = 2 × 30 × 60/(30 + 60) = 2 × 30 × 60/90 = 40 mph
Time taken by train to complete the trip = Distance/ Speed = 20/40 = 1⁄2 hr = 30 min.

10 A person performs half of his journey by train, one− third by bus and the rest 5 km by auto rickshaw. Find his total journey.

The distance covered by auto-rickshaw
= 1 − (1/2 + 1/3) = 1/6
1/6 of total journey = 5 km
Total journey = 6 × 5 = 30 km
