A boat can travel with a speed of 16 km/hr in still water. If the rate of stream is 5 km/hr, then find the time taken by the boat to cover distance of 84 km downstream.
Answer: A
Speed downstream = (16 + 5) = 21 kmph
Time = distance/speed = 84/21 = 4 hours

A boat has a speed of 14 kmph in standing water. The stream has a speed of 1.2 kmph. 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

A boat running downstream covers a distance of 20 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 5 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Answer: B
Rate downstream = (20/2) kmph = 10 kmph;
Rate upstream = (20/5) kmph = 4 kmph
Speed in still water = 1/2 (10 + 4) kmph = 7 kmph

The speed of a boat in still water is 2km/hr. If its speed upstream be 1km/hr then speed of the stream is
Answer: C
Let the speed of stream be x km/hr
Speed upstream = (2-x) km/hr = 2-x = 1 => x = 1 km/hr

A boatman rows 96 km downstream in 8 hours with a stream speed of 4kmph. How much time will he take to cover 8km upstream?
Answer: C
Speed = distance/time
Speed downstream: 96 / 8 km/hr = 12kmph
Speed of stream = 4kmph
Effective speed of boat = (12-4) kmph
= 8kmph
Distance to be travelled upstream= 8 km
Speed upstream = boat speed-current speed
= 8-4 kmph
= 4 kmph
Time taken = distance/speed = 8/ 4 hours
=2 hours
Thus it will take 2 hours to go upstream.
