Question: 1

A boat moves downstream at the rate of one Km in 10 minutes and upstream at the rate of 4 Km an hour. What is the velocity of the current?

(A) 1 Km/h

(B) 3 Km/h

(C) 5 Km/h

(D) 7 Km/h

Ans: A

Speed of the boat downstream

= $${60}/{10}$$ = 6 km/h.

Speed of the boat upstream = 4 km/h.

∴ Velocity of the current

= $${1}/{2} (Downstream speed – Upstream speed)$$

= $${1}/{2} (6 - 4)$$ = 1 Km/h.

Question: 2

A man can row 6 Km/h in still water. If the river is running at 2 Km/h, it takes 3 hours more in upstream than to go downstream for the same distance. How far is the place?

(A) 24 km

(B) 28 km

(C) 32 km

(D) 36 km

Ans: A

The required distance

= $${(x^2 – y^2)t} / {2y}$$

= $${(36 - 4)^3}/ {2× 2}$$ = 24 Km.

Question: 3

A boat running downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

(A) 4 Km/h

(B) 6 Km/h

(C) 8 Km/h

(D) 12 Km/h

Ans: B

Rate upstream = $${16}/{2}$$Km/h = 8 Km/h.

Rate downstream = $${16}/{4}$$ = 4 Km/h.

∴ Rate in still water = $${1}/{2}(8 + 4)$$ = 6 Km/h.

Question: 4

A boat travels upstream from B to A and downstream from A to B in 3 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9 Km/h and the speed of the current is 3 Km/h, the distance between A and B is

(A) 4 Km

(B) 6 Km

(C) 8 Km

(D) 12 Km

Ans: D

Speed downstream = (9 + 3) Km/h = 12 km/h

Speed upstream = (9 - 3) Km/h = 6 km/h.

Let, the distance AB = x km.

Then, $${x}/{6} + {x}/{12}$$ = 3

⇔ 2x + x = 36

⇔ x = 12

∴ Distance AB = 12 km.

Question: 5

A man can swim 3 Km/h in still water. If the velocity of the stream be 2 km/h, the time taken by him to swim to a place 10 km upstream and back is

(A) 10 hours

(B) 12 hours

(C) $$8{1}/{3} hours$$

(D) $$9{1}/{5} hours$$

Ans: B

Speed upstream = (3 - 2) Km/h = 1 Km/h.

Speed downstream = (3 + 2) Km/h = 5 Km/h.

Total time taken = $$({10/1} + {10/5})$$ hours = 12 hours.
