A boat goes 6 km in an hour in still water. It takes thrice as much time in covering the same distance against the current. Speed of the current is?
Answer: C
Speed in still water = 6 km/hr
Speed against the current = 6/3 km/hr = 2 km/hr
Let the speed of the current be x km/hr
6-x = 2 => x =4 km/hr

A boat is rowed downstream at 15.5km/hr and upstream at 8.5 km/hr. The speed of the stream is?
Answer: A
Speed Downstream = 15.5 km/hr,
speed upstream = 8.5 km/hr
Speed of the stream = ½ (15.5 – 8.5)km = 3.5 km/hr

A man's speed with the current is 20 kmph and speed of the current is 3 kmph. The Man's speed against the current will be
Answer: C
Speed with current is 20,
speed of the man + It is speed of the current
Speed in still water = 20 - 3 = 17
Now speed against the current will be
speed of the man - speed of the current
= 17 - 3 = 14 kmph

A man rows 750 m in 675 seconds against the stream and returns in 7 and half minutes. His rowing speed in still water is
Answer: B
Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec
Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec
Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.
= 25/18 m/sec
= (25/18) × (18/5) kmph
= 5 kmph

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 min to cover a certain distance while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and the speed of water current respectively?
Answer: C
Let the speed of boat be x km/hr and speed of stream be ykm/hr.
44/5 × (x -y) = 4x (x +y)
=> 44(x-y) = 20 (x+y)
=>11 (x-y) = 5 (x +y)
=> 6x =16 y
=> x/y = 16/6 = 8/3
=> x : y = 8 : 3
