MATH CAPSULE PART – II
Time, Speed & Distance
The Speed of a moving body is the Distance travelled by it in unit Time.
So
Distance travelled = Speed × Time
Total Time taken to cover some distance = Distance / Speed
Speed is either measured in Kilometer/ hour or meter/ second
To convert Kilometer/ hour in meter/second,
To convert meter/second in Kilometer/hour,
 If a car covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal distance at y km/hr, the average speed of the whole
journey
2xy/(x + y) km/hr
 Speed and time are inversely proportional (when distance is constant)
Speed ∝1/ Time (When Distance is constant)
 If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance
is 1/a:1/b or b : a
Concept of Relative Speed:
Case1: Two bodies are moving in opposite directions at speed V1 & V2 respectively. The relative speed is
defined as
Vr =V1+V2
Case2: Two bodies are moving in same directions at speed V1 & V2 respectively. The relative speed is defined
as
Vr =|V1–V2|

Concept of Trains
The basic concept for train related problem is Speed = Distance / time.
but we should kept in mind these discussed points below.
(i) When the train is crossing a moving object, the speed has to be taken as the relative speed of the train
with respect to the object.
(ii) The distance to be covered when crossing an object, whenever trains crosses an object will be equal
to:
Length of the train + Length of the object
NOTE- When train is crossing a stationary object (with length) like bridge, platform, and then its Length is added to the
length of train to get required length.
When train is crossing a pole, tree, man etc.. then their length is neglect with respect to train, Here only length of train is
considered.
Condition:
When Train crosses single object:
(Let the speed of train is st & length of train Lt)
1. Train Crosses a stationary object (without length like tree, man, pole etc..)
So time taken by train to cross the object = =
2. Train Crosses a stationary object of Length L
So time taken by train to cross the object = =
3. Train crosses a moving object of length L with speed sl in the same direction of train
So time taken by train to cross the object =
4. Train crosses a moving object of length L with Speed Sl in the opposite direction of train
So time taken by train to cross the object =
When two train crossing each other in both directions:
Let length of one train = L; Length of Second train = L2
They are crossing each other in opposite direction in t1 sec and same direction in t2 secrespectively,
Then,
Speed of faster train = (L1 + L2) /2 [1/t1 + 1/t2]
Speed of slower train = (L1+ L2) / 2 [1/t1 – 1/t2]
 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)^1/2

Boat & Streams
Downstream/Upstream:
In water, the direction along the stream is called downstream. and, the direction against the stream is called upstream.
If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then:
If the speed downstream is a km/hr and the speed upstream is b km/hr, then:
Speed in still water =
1
(a + b) km/hr.
2
Rate of stream =
1
(a - b) km/hr.
2
Time & Work
Concept
 If A can do work in n days, then 1 day work of A = 1/n and vice versa.
 If A is thrice as good a workman as B, then:
Ratio of work done by A and B = 3 : 1.
Ratio of times taken by A and B to finish a work = 1 : 3.
Man – Day – Work
If M1 men can do W1 work in D1 days working H1 hours per day and M2 men can do W2 work in D2 days working H2
hours per day (when all men work at same rate)
If A can do a piece of work in p days and b can do in q days, then A and B together can complete the same work in
pq/(p+q) days
Speed downstream = (u + v) km/hr.
Speed upstream = (u - v) km/hr.
M1 D1 H1 / W1 = M2 D2 H2 / W2

Pipe and Cistern
The pipe and cistern problem can be done on the concept of positive work and negative work. The pipe is used to fill
tank or something reservoir etc. mainly pipe are two types
Inlet pipe: it is used to fill the tank.
Outlet pipe: it is used to empty the tank
So Inlet pipe work taken as Positive and Outlet pipe work taken as negative .
1. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then:
part filled in 1 hour =
1
.
x
2. If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then:
part emptied in 1 hour =
1
.
y
3. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on
opening both the pipes, then
the net part filled in 1 hour =
1
-
1
.
x y
4. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where x > y), then on
opening both the pipes, then
the net part emptied in 1 hour =
1
-
1
.
y x
The same concept can be applied for one, two, three and more pipes.
Permutation and Combination:
Factorial Notation:
Let n be a positive integer. Then, factorial n, denoted n! is defined as:
n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... 3.2.1.
Examples:
i. We define 0! = 1.
ii. 4! = (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 24.
iii. 5! = (5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 120.
Permutations:
The different arrangements of a given number of things by taking some or all at a time, are called permutations.
Examples:
i) All permutations (or arrangements) made with the letters a, b, c by taking two at a time are
(ab, ba, ac, ca, bc, cb).
ii) All permutations made with the letters a, b, c taking all at a time are:
( abc, acb, bac, bca, cab, cba)

Number of Permutations:
Number of all permutations of n things, taken r at a time, is given by:
nPr = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... (n - r + 1) =
n!
(n - r)!
Examples:
a. 6P2 = (6 x 5) = 30.
b. 7P3 = (7 x 6 x 5) = 210.
c. Number of all permutations of n things, taken all at a time = n!
An Important Result:
If there are n subjects of which p1 are alike of one kind; p2 are alike of another kind;p3 are alike of third kind and
so on and pr are alike of rth kind,
such that (p1 + p2 + ... pr) = n.
Then, number of permutations of these n objects is =
n!
(p1!).(p2)!.....(pr!)
Combinations:
Each of the different groups or selections which can be formed by taking some or all of a number of objects is
called a combination.
Examples:
1. Suppose we want to select two out of three boys A, B, C. Then, possible selections are AB, BC and CA. Note: AB
and BA represent the same selection.
2. All the combinations formed by a, b, c taking ab, bc, ca.
3. The only combination that can be formed of three letters a, b, c taken all at a time is abc.
4. Various groups of 2 out of four persons A, B, C, D are:
AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD.
Note that ab ba are two different permutations but they represent the same combination.
Number of Combinations:
The number of all combinations of n things, taken r at a time is:
nCr =
n!
=
n(n - 1)(n - 2) ... to r factors
.
(r!)(n - r)! r!
Note:
I) nCn = 1 and nC0 = 1.
II) nCr = nC(n - r)

Probability
Experiment: An operation which can produce some well-defined outcomes is called an
experiment.
Random Experiment: An experiment in which all possible outcomes are know and the exact
output cannot be predicted in advance, is called a random experiment.
Examples:
i. Rolling an unbiased dice.
ii. Tossing a fair coin.
iii. Drawing a card from a pack of well-shuffled cards.
iv. Picking up a ball of certain colour from a bag containing balls of different
colours.
Details:
i) When we throw a coin, then either a Head (H) or a Tail (T) appears.
ii) A dice is a solid cube, having 6 faces, marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively. When we
throw a die, the outcome is the number that appears on its upper face.
iii) A pack of cards has 52 cards.
It has 13 cards of each suit; name Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds.
Cards of spades and clubs are black cards.
Cards of hearts and diamonds are red cards.
There are 4 honors of each unit.
These are Kings, Queens and Jacks. These are all called face cards.
Sample Space:
When we perform an experiment, then the set S of all possible outcomes is called the
sample space.
Examples:
1. In tossing a coin, S = {H, T}
2. If two coins are tossed, the S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}.
3. In rolling a dice, we have, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.
Event: Any subset of a sample space is called an event.
Probability of Occurrence of an Event:
Let S be the sample and let E be an event.
Then, E S.
P(E) =
n(E)
.
n(S)

Results on Probability:
1) P(S) = 1
2) 0 P (E) 1
3) P( ) = 0
4) For any events A and B we have : P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B)
5) If A denotes (not-A), then P(A) = 1 - P(A).
