Quantum Aptitude is the first section in pH test. It Contains 20 questions from various Aptitude topics. All the important formulas are printed in the question paper. But you need to study more topics to crack the test. In this post covers some important topics and tips to solve Aptitude question.

Important Formula:

Speed      =   Distance / Time
Time        =   Distance / speed
Distance   =   speed * time
1 km/hr    =    518ms
1 m/s       =    185Kmhr

Suppose  a  man  covers  a  distance  at  x  km/hr  and  an  equal  distance  at  y km/hr, then the AVERAGE SPEED during the whole journey is (2xy/x+y) km/hr

Out of time, speed and distance we can compute any one of the quantities when we happen to know the other two. For example, suppose we drive for 2 hours at 30 miles per hour, for a total of 60 miles. 

If we know the time and the speed, we can find the distance:
2 hour * 30 mileshour=60 miles
If we know the time and the distance, we can find the speed:
60 miles2 hours=30mileshour

Distance is directly proportional to Velocity when time is constant:

Train Problems:

The basic equation in train problem is the same

Boats & Streams:

Let U= Velocity of the boat in still water
V=Velocity of the stream.



Relative speed between HOUR hand and MINUTE hand = 55
