A man rows a boat 24 km downstream in 3 hours and rows the same distance upstream in 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 9:4, if speed of current is 8 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 5 hours.
A boat covers 132 km downstream in 3 hours and 96 km upstream in 4 hours. The boat takes 8 hours to travel 'D' km upst...
A boat covers 45 km downstream in 90 minutes. If the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to that of the speed of the stream is 5:3, respective...
A boat goes 56 km in upstream in 4 hours and takes 3 hours to complete a distance of 18 km in downstream. Find the speed of boat in still water.
A boat covers 150 km downstream in the same time it takes to cover 90 km upstream. If the speed of the stream is 5 km/h, determine the speed of the boat...
Speed of a boat in still water is 3 times more than the speed of stream. If boat covers 135 km in downstream in 9 hours, then find the time taken by the...
When a speed of stream is 25% of the speed of boat in still water. If the boat can travel 60 km upstream in 5 hours and 80 km downstream in 4 hours, the...
Boat ‘A’ can cover 160 km in still water in 8 hours. In still water, if the ratio of the speed of boat ‘A’ to that of ‘B’ is 2:3 and the spe...
