Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a 12-hour clock time to a 24-hour clock time for travel problems?
For times after 12:00 noon (PM), add 12 hours to the hour value (e.g., 2:00 PM becomes 14:00 hours). For AM times, the hour remains the same.
What is the easiest way to calculate travel time when minutes in the end time are smaller than the start time?
Borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from the hours column and add it to the minutes column before subtracting.
Do I need to memorize railway timetables for the exam?
No, you do not need to memorize any timetables. A sample timetable will be provided in the question paper, and you just need to read it to find the answers.
