Question
A man rows upstream 10 km and downstream 15 km
taking 5 hours each. Find the speed of current.Solution
Distance upstream= 10 km, time taken to row upstream = 5 hrs. Speed upstream = 10/ 5 = 2 km/hr. Distance downstream= 15 km, Time taken to row downstream = 5 hrs. Speed downstream = 15 /5 = 3 km/hr. Speed of the current =(3 – 2) x ½ = 0.5 km / hr
- The downstream and upstream speeds of a boat are 36 km/hr and 28 km/hr, respectively. If the boatman covers (x + y) km upstream in 8 hours while the stream...
The speed of a boat in still water is 7 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 2.5 km/hr. A man rows to a place at a distance of 42.75 km and comes back t...
Speed of boat is 10 km/hr. Speed of the stream is 20% less than speed of boat. Then find time taken by boat to go 90 km downstream?
The total time taken by a boat to cover (d+30) km in downstream and (d-60) km in upstream is (t+3) hours. The speed of stream is one fourth of the speed...
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...
A man can row 25/2 km an hour in still water and he finds that it takes him thrice as long as long to row down the river. The rate of stream is:
A Motorboat takes 24 hours for travelling downstream from a point A to point B and coming back to point C, which is 1/3rd of distance between A and B. ...
The speed of current is 26 km/hr. If the speed of the boat in still water had been 12 km/hr more than the original speed then it would take 7.5 hours to...
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...
- In still water, boat ‘X’ is three times as fast as boat ‘Y’. Boats ‘X’ and ‘Y’ are 240 km apart in a stream and are moving towards each oth...
