Aptitude MCQ quiz on Time, Speed and Distance


This is the MCQ test on Time, Speed, and Distance for evaluating quantitative ability. The questions are extracted from real competitive exams like bank PO, SSC, and various state-level MBA exams. Below are some important formulae:

1. Speed = Distance/Time

2. Time = Distance/Speed

3. Distance = Speed x Time

4. Average speed = {2ab/(a + b)} km/hr

Where a and b are the speeds in km/hr to cover a certain equal distance.

5. Relative speed:
i. If two cars moving in the same direction at 'a' km/hr and 'b' km/hr, having a>b, then their relative speed = (a - b) km/hr

ii. If two cars moving in opposite directions (towards each other) at 'a' km/hr and 'b' km/hr, then their relative speed = (a + b) km/hr
