Question
A Pilot flying a helicopter looks at the image of the
moon in a river. He finds the diameter of the moon covering the entire width of the river. When he lands he finds the diameter of the moon's reflection much smaller than the width of the river. Why does this happen?Solution
The correct answer is D
A boat takes half the time to move a certain distance downstream than upstream. the ratio of the boat's speed in still water and that of the current is.
The time taken by a boat to travel a certain distance downstream is in the ratio 4:5 compared to the time taken to travel the sam...
The speed of the stream is 12 km/h. Boat ‘A’ covers 120 km distance against the stream in 6 hours and boat ‘B’ covers 120 km distance against th...
Speed of boat is 20 km/hr. Speed of the stream is 15% less than speed of boat. Then find time taken by boat to go 74 km downstream?
The speed of a boat in still water is 22 km/h and the speed of the stream is 8 km/h. The boat first goes 60 km downstream and then travels upstream a di...
A boat takes 7 hours to cover 294 km upstream and 9 hours to cover 486 km downstream. Find the time taken by the boat to cover 720 km upstream and 616 k...
A boat covers the distance between two points downstream in 2 hours and upstream in 3 hours. If the speed of the stream is 3 km/h, find the speed of the...
Two boats X and Y start towards each other from two places, 140 km apart. Speed of the boat X and Y in still water are 13km/hr and 15km/hr respectively....
A boat covers a total downstream distance of 180 km, split into two equal parts. The boat’s speeds in these two parts are 2a km/h and 4a km/h respecti...
A boat covers a certain distance upstream in 6 hrs and comes back to starting point with current in 3 hrs, If boat's upstream speed is 15 km/hr, then, f...
