Question
The speed of current is 5 km/h. What will be the
respective downstream speed and upstream speed of a boy rowing a boat, if half of the distance covered going downstream in a certain time is equal to the distance covered going upstream in the same time?Solution
Let the speed of boy in still water be X km/h. And the speed of current = 5 km/h Downstream speed = (X + 5) km/h Upstream speed = (X – 5) km/h Let time be ‘t’ hours. ⇒ [(X + 5) t]/2 = (X – 5) t ⇒ X + 5 = 2X – 10 ⇒ X = 15 km/h Downstream speed = 15 + 5 = 20 km/h Upstream speed = 15 – 5 = 10 km/h
Speed of current is equal to 25% of speed of boat in still water. If the boat takes 5 hours to cover 120 km in still water, then find the time taken by ...
The speed of a boat is that of the current of water is 35:6. The boat goes along with the current in 5 hours 10 minutes. Approximately at what time it w...
Time taken by a boat to cover 253 km upstream is 49.99 % more than the time taken by the boat to cover 340 km downstream. Total time taken in covering b...
A boat takes 15 hours to travel 150 km upstream. When its speed is doubled, it covers 150 km downstream in 3 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
A boat's speed in calm water exceeds the speed of the current by 12 km/hr. Given that the current's speed is 1.25x km/hr and the boat takes 5 hours to t...
A boat travels in a river where the current flows at a speed of 5 km/h. The total time taken by the boat to go from point 'P' to ...
A man can row 16 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the current is 4 km/hr, it takes 5 hours more in upstream than in the downstream for the same dis...
A boat running downstream covers a distance of 30 km in 2 hrs and covering the same distance upstream in 10 hrs. What is the speed of a boat in still wa...
The speed of a boat in still water is three times the speed of the boat upstream. If the boat takes 30 minutes to cover 27 km downstream, then find the ...
A boat goes 52 km in upstream in 4 hours and takes 3 hours to complete a distance of 15 km in downstream. Find the speed of boat in still water.
