Boats and Streams 1 / 19 A man can row three-quarters of a kilometre against the stream in 11 minutes and down the stream in 7 minutes. The speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water is: 2 : 1 3 : 1 3 : 2 4 : 3 2 / 19 A boat takes a total time of three hours to travel downstream from P and Q and upstream back from Q to P. What is the speed of the boat in still water?I. The speed of the river current is 1 km per hour.II. The distance between P and Q is 4 km. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer Either I or II alone sufficient to answer Both I and II are not sufficient to answer Both I and II are necessary to answer 3 / 19 A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour, while it comes back in 1 hours. If the speed of the stream be 3 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in still water? 12 kmph 13 kmph 14 kmph 15 kmph None of these 4 / 19 The speed of a boat in still water in 15 km/hr and the rate of current is 3 km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 12 minutes is: 1.2 km 1.8 km 2.4 km 3.6 km 5 / 19 What is the speed of the boat in still water?I. The boat covers a distance of 48 kms in 6 hours while running upstream.II. The boat covers the same distance in 4 hours while running downstream. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer Either I or II alone sufficient to answer Both I and II are not sufficient to answer Both I and II are necessary to answer 6 / 19 A motorboat, whose speed in 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. The speed of the stream (in km/hr) is: 4 5 6 10 7 / 19 A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is: 8.5 km/hr 9 km/hr 10 km/hr 12.5 km/hr 8 / 19 A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream. 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours 9 / 19 A man can row three-quarters of a kilometre against the stream in 11 minutes and down the stream in 7 minutes. The speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water is: 2 3 4 5 10 / 19 A man can row at 5 kmph in still water. If the velocity of current is 1 kmph and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place? 2.4 km 2.5 km 3 km 3.6 km 11 / 19 A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water? 40 minutes 1 hour 1 hr 15 min 1 hr 15 min 12 / 19 A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is: 1 km/hr 1.5 km/hr 2 km/hr 2.5 km/hr 13 / 19 A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is: 2 mph 2.5 mph 3 mph 4 mph 14 / 19 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? 4 km/hr 6 km/hr 8 km/hr Data inadequate 15 / 19 In one hour, a boat goes 11 km/hr along the stream and 5 km/hr against the stream. The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr) is: 3 km/hr 5 km/hr 8 km/hr 9 km/hr 16 / 19 What is the speed of the boat in still water?I. It takes 2 hours to cover the distance between A and B downstream.II. It takes 4 hours to cover the distance between A and B upstream. I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer Either I or II alone sufficient to answer Both I and II are not sufficient to answer Both I and II are necessary to answer 17 / 19 What is the speed of the boat in still water?I. The speed downstream is 12 kmph.II. The speed upstream is 4 kmph.III. In a to and fro journey between two points, the average speed of the boat was 6 kmph. I and II only All I, II and III III, and either I or II Any two of the three None of these 18 / 19 A man can row three-quarters of a kilometre against the stream in 11 minutes and down the stream in 7 minutes. The speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water is: 16 hours 18 hours 20 hours 24 hours 19 / 19 A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively? 2 : 1 3 : 2 8 : 3 Cannot be determined None of these Your score isThe average score is 15% 0% Restart quiz
