Time, Speed and Distance

Time, speed and distance (TSD) is one area which is very important from the point of view of any MBA entrance exam.

The questions do seem very complicated but can often be solved with a great degree of ease.

However, in order to do this, one needs to consciously make efforts to use the SMART approach ONLY. It will not come in a day, however, with a decent a

mount of practice, one can easily grasp the entire concept and start using the smart approach without any conscious effort.

The most important thing to keep in mind when solving TSD questions is proportion.

Now this might seem very obvious right now but under exam pressure and time constraints, we often tend to forget the fundamentals.

Anyway,

So one must always remember that

where,

s = speed

t = time

d = distance

Now let us look at some examples.

Introduction

Hi!

This is my first post and I am very excited about it. Well, to begin with, I want to dedicate this blog entirely to the spreading of knowledge.

To be specific, I will be posting puzzles, concepts, tips & tricks, shortcuts, techniques, preparation guidelines & material for anyone and everyone who is preparing for CAT, GMAT and other comparable MBA entrance exams. I will also be helping ANYONE (who is interested J) with applications to colleges, exam forms, list of good coaching institutes and books to study from.

I’ll try to give two approaches wherever possible:

Ordinary (O) and Smart (S).

However, it is important to remember that in an actual exam situation, we generally use the Ordinary Approach. So we’ll try and get familiarized with the Smart Approach as much as possible.

I will try my best to give you as much as I know, in addition to giving you what I don’t, by borrowing and consolidating concepts from varied sources.

ALL THE BEST!!!
