TIME, SPEED AND DISTANCE It is sure and certain that it is one of the most important chapter, which includes various fundamental and logical ‘onespis and therefore most of the problems are complex in their nature, Every year 46 problems are generally asked in CAT.

Since the specd is deceased by 2, So, the time willbe increased by 1/5, which is equal 12 hour 12 minuces, Temeans the normal time required for this remaining part (<) 360 min = 6h. of the journey is 5x72 min P is the place of accclent..

For example if allows B to go ahead before starting the race, then its said that 4 gives startup to B and B has the startup. If before starting the race B goes ahead of x metre, then we can say A gives x metre startup to B or B has startup (or headstart) of x metre (ii) Dead heat: When the runners reach the finishing line (or the final post) then itis said that these runners finish (or end) the race in dead heat.

Therefore, when 8 moves 1000 m,C moves 875 metze. Thus, can give C a start of 1000-875 = 125m. Alternatively: Since is 12.5% slower than B. So, C-will ‘cover 12.5% less distance than B inthe same ime. (Since when time is constant, they cover the distances in the ratio of their speeds.) hus, in L000 m (or 1 km) when B runs 1000 m,€ wall run 125 mless than B Hence, B can give @ start of 125 m to Cima L km race.

There is basically one concept is involved in this chapter Le., concept of efficiency. Se most af the problems are very similar in their hasie characteristic. Almost every aptitude ‘exam ask the problems from this chapter. On an average 2-3 sroblems font this chapter have been asked in past years in CAT. ‘AS it is very clear to all of us that the work is directly related with time. As one can say if a particular person or machine works for more time then more work will be done and if it devotes tess time then it yields less work Le. output of a machine or person is diteetly proportianal to time, provided that he/she maintains his/her efficiency during the work, CONCEPT OF EFFICIENCY Suppose a person ean complete a particular work in 2 days then we can say that each day he does half of the work or 50% work each day. Thus itis clear that his efficiency is S0% per day. Efficiency is generally considered with respect t0 the time. The time ean be calculated either in days, hours, minutes ‘or months ete. Soifa person completes his work in 4 days, then his efficiency Cper day’ is 25%. Since each day he works 14th of the total work (é¢., 25% of the total work). | would like to mention that the calculation of percentage and conversion of ratios and fractions into percentage and viee versa is the prerequisite for this chapter. Now, if'a person ean complete a work in a days then his l cone day's work and this one day’s work in terms of percentage is called his efficiency ‘Also ifs person ean complete + work in one day, then he can complete the whole work in n days, Relation between work of 1 wnit of time and percentage efficiency.

[Basically for faster and smarter caleulation you have to have your percentage caleulation very smart {All the problems of this chapter ean be solved through two methods 1. Unitary method 2.

I admit that initially it might be difficult 10 solve for those students who are not so good and confidert in.
