Turn complex TSD problems into quick solutions.
Are Time-Speed-Distance questions slowing you down in Quants? TSD is a high-accuracy, high-reward topic, but only if you know how to solve problems quickly without getting bogged down in calculations. It’s time to flip the script.
At Rahul Sir Classes, we’ve simplified TSD with smart shortcut techniques that’ll help you solve even the trickiest problems faster than ever. The secret? Focusing on the underlying concept rather than just memorizing formulas.

1. Relative Speed: One Rule to Rule Them All
2. Boats & Streams: A Shortcut Without Formulas
3. Average Speed: The Magic Trick
4. Chasing & Meeting: The Visual Trick
Instead of relying on variables, visualize the problem. For problems where one person is chasing another, imagine the distance between them shrinking at the rate of their relative speed. The time to meet is simply the initial distance divided by the relative speed. This visual approach helps you simplify complex scenarios and avoid errors.
Make Every Second Count!
Mastering TSD is about more than just remembering a formula; it's about developing an intuitive understanding of the concepts. By using these shortcut techniques, you'll not only save precious time in the exam but also gain the confidence to tackle any TSD question that comes your way. It's time to make every question a score!

FAQs
Q1. Why is TSD such an important topic for CAT?
TSD questions test your fundamental understanding of motion and ratios. They are a staple in the Quants section and can often be solved with a high degree of accuracy if the right method is applied, making them a great way to boost your score.
Q2. What are the common sub-topics of TSD?
TSD includes several sub-topics such as relative speed (trains and races), average speed, boats and streams, and circular motion. Each requires a slightly different application of the core principles.
Q3. What if a TSD question has too much data?
More data often means more clues. Your job is to filter out the irrelevant information and focus on the key variables. Complex TSD questions are often a test of your ability to identify and use only the essential data.
Q4. Can I rely on formula-based solving for TSD?
While formulas are useful, relying solely on them can be a trap. The CAT exam often presents questions in a way that requires conceptual understanding to solve efficiently. Our methods focus on building that understanding first, making the use of formulas intuitive.
Q5. How can Rahul Sir Classes help me with my TSD preparation?
