During COVID-19 period, the Distance, Speed and Time questions were removed from PSLE to reduce lighten the syllabus temporarily.
But after COVID-19, the topic is back and the questions for Distance, Speed and Time will become more prevalent in P6 Prelim papers with many variations in Paper 2.
One of such question variants is about a same vehicle travelling an identical distance.
One distance being travelled at a higher speed and the same distance travelling at a lower speed. The difference in time needed to complete the distance is also given.
With the 3 numbers (faster speed, slower speed, difference in time reaching), students must find out the duration of the time take needed to complete the distance for either the faster or slower vehicle.
Such question appear in P6 Prelims Paper 2.
Calculator usage is allowed.
A train travelling daily from Town A to Town B travels at a constant speed of 90 km/h on sunny days.
On rainy days, the train travels at a slower constant speed of 72 km/h and will arrive 10 mins later than on sunny days.
If the train leaves Town A at 12.15 p.m. on a sunny day,
What time will it reach Town B?
