TRAINS DISTANCE SPEED TIME PROBLEMS
Distance (D) = Speed (S) × Time (T)
X kmph = X × 5/18 m/s
X m/s = X × 18/5 kmph
If the ratio of the speeds A & 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 two trains are moving in the same directions at X m/s and Y m/s then their relative speed
= (X – Y) m/s
Suppose two trains are moving in the opposite directions at X m/s and Y m/s then their relative speed
= (X + Y) m/s
If two trains of length ‘A’ meters and ‘B’ meters are moving in the same directions at X m/s and Y m/s then the time taken by the trains to cross each other
= A+B / X− Y
If trains move in opposite direction s
= A+B / X+ Y
Distance (D) = Speed (S) Î Time (T)
X kmph = X Îá 5/18 m/s
X m/s = X Î 18/5 kmph
If the ratio of the speeds A & 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 two trains are moving in the same directions at X m/s and Y m/s then their relative speed
= (X ľ Y) m/s
Suppose two trains are moving in the opposite directions at X m/s and Y m/s then their relative speed
= (X + Y) m/s
If two trains of length ĹAĺ meters and ĹBĺ meters are moving in same directions at X m/s and Y m/s then the time taken by the trains to cross each other
= A + B / X – Y seconds
If trains move in opposite direction
= A + B / X + Y seconds
