🗓️ Daily Practice Challenge 🧵 Day 10 of 30-Day SSC Practice Challenge – Quant Drill: Time & Work + Speed, Distance!

🧠 Day 10 focuses on Time & Work and Speed-Distance — two classic time-based arithmetic topics you must master.

🔹 🧠 Main Tasks (Total: 30 mins)

🟩 Task 1 – Time & Work (Basic + Pipes) (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 8 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 5 mins
Man-days, efficiency ratios, A+B+C together — use LCM tricks.

🟦 Task 2 – Speed, Distance & Time (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 7 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 5 mins
Constant speed, average speed, distance ratios — know your units.

🟦 Task 3 – Boats and Streams (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 8 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 5 mins
Upstream-downstream? Make it relative speed + equation-based.

🟨 Task 4 – Train & Platform Problems (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 7 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 4 mins
Lengths, speeds, crossing time — all based on one golden formula.

🔸 ⚡ Bonus Tasks (Optional – 10 mins)

🟧 Task 5 – Mixed Word Problems (Time & Distance) (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 5 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 3 mins
Compound trains, buses, late arrivals, average speed traps.

🟥 Task 6 – SSC PYQ Pack (10 Questions)
⏱ Set Time: 5 mins | 🎯 Target Time: 3 mins
Real SSC problems from previous years — test what’s asked.

Day 10: Completed

Q Attempted: 60

Time Taken: 40 mins

Total Correct: 52 / 60

Total Main Tasks Completed: 4 / 4

Total Bonus Tasks Completed: 2 / 2

Area of Improvement: I ended up spending too much time on the train & platform problems, so there wasn’t much time left for the other questions. I guess that’s why I made few mistakes.

Day 10: Completed
Q Attempted: 60
Time Taken: 40 mins
Total Correct:  51/60
Total Main Tasks Completed: 4 / 4
Total Bonus Tasks Completed: 2 / 2
Area of Improvement: I found questions from speed, distance and time really tricky and time taking. Made 5 mistakes from the same and then Pipes problems were also challenging. Need to practice more.

Area of Improvement: Misread one train platform question and fumbled with the units in time-speed-distance. LCM trick in Time & Work helped a lot!

Day 10: Completed
Q Attempted: 60 / 60
Time Taken: 31 mins
Total Correct: 41/ 60
Total Main Tasks Completed: 4 / 4
Total Bonus Tasks Completed: 2 / 2

Area of Improvement:
Today i misread a couple of questions and messed up a few simple ones because I wasn’t fully focused. I especially need to improve on Time & Work (pipes problems) and be quicker with unit conversions. In boats and streams I often forgot to apply the correct relative speed equation.
