Important Instructions
101.

A man can row a boat three quarters of a kilometer in 11.25 minutes. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

Answer: C

Speed= Distance/Time.

Speed= 3/4 km / (11.25/60) hr

Therefore, Speed = 4 km/hr

A person can swim in still water at 4 km/h. If the speed of water 2 km/h, how many hours will the man take to swim back against the current for 6km?

Answer: A

M = 4

S = 2

US =  4 - 2 = 2

D = 6

 

T = 6/2 = 3

A boat has a speed of 14kmph in standing water. The stream has a speed of 1.2kmph. What time does the boat take to go to a distance of 4864 km and come back? (hours)

Answer: A

A boat travels at the speed of 14 km/hr in still water.

=> Speed of stream = 1.2 kmph

=> Speed of boat downstream becomes 14 + 1.2 = 15.2 kmph

=> Speed of boat upstream becomes 14 - 1.2 = 12.8 kmph

Total time taken in the journey = Journey downstream + Journey upstream

Therefore, 4864(1/12.8 + 1/15.2) = 700 hours

If a boat goes 7 km upstream in 42 minutes and the speed of the stream is 3 kmph, then the speed of the boat in still water is

Answer: B

Rate upstream = (7/42) × 60 kmh = 10 kmph.

Speed of stream = 3 kmph.

Let speed in sttil water is x km/hr

Then, speed upstream = (x —3) km/hr.

x-3 = 10 or x = 13 kmph

A man can row upstream at 25 kmph and downstream at 35 kmph, and then find the speed of the man in still water?

Answer: C

US = 25

DS = 35

 

M = (35 + 25)/2 = 30

A man can row a boat at 20 kmph in still water. If the speed of the stream is 6 kmph, what is the time taken to row a distance of 60 km downstream?

Answer: D

Speed downstream = 20 + 6 = 26 kmph.
Time required to cover 60 km downstream = d/s = 60/26 = 30/13 hours.
