 Relative Speed
Same Direction

stop?

Opposite Direction
32. Two places A and B are at a certain distance. Ramu started from A towards B at a speed of 40 kmph.

of ratio of time taken by Raju to Ramu to reach Place C is 2:3. Then what is the distance between A
and B?
33. Ramu started from A towards B at a speed of 20Km/hr and Raju started from B towards A. They
crossed each other after one hour. Raju reached his destination 5/6 hour earlier than Ramu reached his
destination.Then what is the distance between A and B?
34. Two places A and B are at a distance of 480Km. Sita started from A towards B at the speed of
40Kmph. After 2 hours Gita started from B towards A at speed of 60 Kmph. They meet at a Place C
then what is the difference between the time taken by them to reach their destinations from Place C?
35. Two places R and S are 800 km apart from each other. Two persons start from R towards S at an
interval of 2 hours. Whereas A leaves R for S before B. The speeds of A and B are 40 kmph and 60
kmph respectively. B overtakes A at M, which is on the way from R to S. What is the extra time taken
by A to reach at S?
36. Two rabbits start running towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A. They cross
each other after one hour and the first rabbit reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second rabbit reaches A. If
the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower rabbit?
37. Two persons A and B start from the opposite ends of a 450 km straight track and run to and from
between the two ends. The speed of the first person is 25 m/s and the speed of other is 35 m/s. They
continue their motion for 10 hours. How many times did they pass each other?
38. Two places are A and B are 200 kms from each other. A train leaves from A for B at the same time
another train leaves B for A. The two trains meet at the end of 8 hours. If the train travelling from A to
B travels 8km/hr faster than the other. Find the speed of the faster train?
39. A and B walk around a circular track. A and B walk at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per
hour respectively. If they start at 8 a.m. from the same point in opposite directions, how many times
shall they cross each other before 9.30 a.m.?

40. The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train starts from A at 8 a.m. and travels towards
B at 60 km/hr. Another train starts from B at 9 a.m. and travels towards A at 75 km/hr. At what time
will they meet?
41. Two trains are running in opposite directions towards each other with speeds of 54 km/h and 48 km/h
respectively. If the length of one train is 250 m and they cross each other in 18 seconds, the length of the
other train is:
42. A train approaches a tunnel AB. Inside the tunnel a cat located at a point i.e. 5/12 AB measured from
the entrance A. When the train whistles the cat runs. If the cat moves to the exit B, the train catches the
cat exactly the exit. The speed of the train is greater than the speed of cat by what order?
43. A this usual rowing rate, Mohit can travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in 6 hours less than it
takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his 24
miles round trip, the downstream 12 miles would then take only one hour less than the upstream 12
miles. What is the speed of the current in miles per hour?
44. Two trains running at the rate of 75 km and 60 km an hour respectively on parallel rails in opposite
directions, are observed to pass each other in 8 seconds and when they are running in the same
direction at the same rates as before, a person sitting in the faster train observes that he passes the other
in 31.5 seconds. Find the lengths of the trains.
45. A train passes a man in 3 second, and another train from opposite direction passes the man 4 second,

bank. We assume that each boat travels at a constant speed all along the journey. Find the width of the
