Problems on trains aptitude tricks

Voila, you are here!
Problems on trains in aptitude problems are not just to test your ability to solve the problems on trains and their properties but you can logically resolve many theories using this concept and this is one of the important part while learning aptitude.
Trains aptitude
Conversions:

  1. A Kilometer/Hour = A(5//18) meter/second.
  2. A meter/second = A(18/5) Kilometer/Hour.
Foundation:
  • Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a fixed point or pole is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l' units.
  • Time taken by a train of length 'l' units to cross a  stationery object of length 'm' units units is equal to the time taken by the train to travel 'l+m' units.
  • Suppose 2 trains are moving in the same direction with speeds U , V where U > V then their relative speed is U - V .
  • Suppose 2 trains are moving in opposite directions with speeds U , V  then their relative speed is U + V .
  • If two trains start at same time from points A , B respectively towards each other and after crossing they take a and b sec to reach B, A respectively then
    (A's speed):(B's speed) = (√b : √a)
Derivations:
( relative speed problems on trains )
1) Suppose 2 trains of lengths a, b are moving with speeds u, v (U>V)respectively then the time taken to cross each other is _________
Distance to cover = length of train a + length of train b  = a+b .
Time=distance/speed.
  • Direction: Opposite.
    Relative speed = (U - V)
    Time=(a+b)/(U - V).
  • Direction: Same.
    Relative speed = (U + V)
    Time=(a+b)/(U + V).
Problems:


Stay tuned :)

Calendar problems solving tips without any formula

Image
If you keenly observe the calendar, if today is Wednesday same date of the next year will be Thursday (if there is no Feb 29 in between) and Friday(if Feb 29 comes) but what if someone asks you to find the day of a given random date? I have found many people asking calendar problems formula. there is no need for any formula as you can do it all by yourself with calendar problem aptitude tricks.  So here is a simple procedure with which you can simply find the day of a given date. Before learning the complete procedure, let me introduce a few basic terms required to solve these type of problems. Calendars are prepared based on the earth's orbit around the sun and it is designed it in a way that every orbit is equivalent to 1 year. with some fraction of the day left out for a year and this fraction is adjusted with the help of leap days. Most of the people think that every 4th year is a leap year but this is not true if one considers every 4th yea...

Numbers and number systems

In this post let us clearly know about the classification of the number system.before classifying numbers let us know about numbers and number systems.  what is a number? =>A number can be defined as a group of digits which have some value. what is a number system? =>The systematic way in which numbers are organized

Direction and distance

In the direction based problems, we should generally determine the direction or distance if a person travels in a path with many lefts or rights and turns in a certain direction. Basic things which we need to keep in our mind while solving direction based problems includes the direction compass. If we measure the angles between directions, the angle between two successive directions is 90 degrees.
