Time and distance questions for competitive exams are some of the most important topics to focus on. The time speed and distance questions need proper clarity of concepts and formulas and also knowledge on how to solve the following questions.
CAT Syllabus 2023: Important Concept/Formula Used in Time, Speed and Distance Questions
S1/S2= T2/T1, when distance is fixed
S1/S2= D1/D2, when time is fixed
S2, speed, when the time taken is T2
S1, speed when the time taken, is T1
D1, D2 are distances for S1 and S2 respectively.
Average speed = Total Distance/Time taken

Srel = S1+ S2, if both are moving in opposite direction
Srel = S1 – S2, if both are moving in same direction

Solution: [4]
Let Parth reach mid-way at x hours, then Narayan will reach B at (x+2) hours.
Since Parth takes 4 hours more than Narayan to reach B, Parth should reach at (x+ 6) hours to B.
It reflects that Parth took 6 hours to reach from midways to B(30 Km).
So, the Speed of Parth = 30/6 = 5 Km/ hr.
