Formulas

1. km/hr to m/s conversion:

5
a km/hr = ax m/s.
18

2. m/s to km/hr conversion:

18
a m/s = ax km/hr.
5

3. Formulas for finding Speed, Time and Distance


4. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a pole or standing man or a signal post is
equal to the time taken by the train to cover l metres.
5. Time taken by a train of length l metres to pass a stationery object of length b metres is the
time taken by the train to cover (l + b) metres.
6. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in the same direction at u m/s
and v m/s, where u > v, then their relative speed is = (u - v) m/s.
7. Suppose two trains or two objects bodies are moving in opposite directions at u m/s
and v m/s, then their relative speed is = (u + v) m/s.
8. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in opposite directions at um/s
and v m/s, then:

(a + b)
The time taken by the trains to cross each other = sec.
(u + v)

9. If two trains of length a metres and b metres are moving in the same direction at um/s
and v m/s, then:

(a + b)
The time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train = sec.
(u - v)

10. If two trains (or bodies) start at the same time from points A and B towards each other and
after crossing they take a and b sec in reaching B and A respectively, then:

(A's speed) : (B's speed) = (b : a)


1 A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the
. train?

A. 120 metres B. 180 metres

C. 324 metres D. 150 metres

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

5 50
Speed= 60 x =
18 3
m/sec m/sec.
50
Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = x9

2. A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is
going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:

A. 45 km/hr B. 50 km/hr

C. 54 km/hr D. 55 km/hr

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

125
Speed of the train relative to man =
10
m/sec
25
=
2
m/sec.
25 18

2 5
km/hr

= 45 km/hr.
