Aptitude Formulas Problems On Trains

This document provides formulas for calculating speed, time, and distance for problems involving trains. It defines formulas for converting between km/hr and m/s, calculating relative speed between two objects moving in the same or opposite directions, and determining the time required for trains of different lengths to pass each other when moving in the same or opposite directions.

Aptitude Formulas (Problems on Trains)

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 u m/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 u m/s and v m/s, then:

The time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train = (a + b) 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)
