The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr. If it can travel 26 km downstream and 14 km upstream at the same time, the speed of the stream is-

• 1] 2 km/hr
• 2] 2.5 km/hr
• 3] 3 km/hr
• 4] 4 km/hr

The speed of the boat in still water is 5 times that of current, it takes 1.1 hour to row to point B from point A downstream. The distance between point A and point B is 13.2 km. How much distance (in km) will it cover in 312 minutes upstrem?

• 1] 43.2
• 2] 48
• 3] 41.6
• 4] 44.8

A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat (in still water) and the stream is:

• 1] 2 : 1
• 2] 3 : 1
• 3] 3 : 2
• 4] 4 : 3

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] 1 km/hr
• 2] 1.5 km/hr
• 3] 2 km/hr
• 4] 2.5 km/hr

A motorboat in still water travels at a speed of 36 km/hr. It goes 56 km upstream in 1 hour 45 monutes. The time taken by it to cover the same distance down the stream will be-

• 1] 1 hour 24 minutes
• 2] 2 hour 21 minutes
• 3] 2 hour 25 minutes
• 4] 3 hour

Speed of a along and against the current are 14 kms/hr and 8 kms/hr respectively. The speed of the current is?

• 1] 11 km/hr
• 2] 6 km/hr
• 3] 5.5 km/hr
• 4] 3 km/hr

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:

• 1] 3 kmph
• 2] 5 kmph
• 3] 8 kmph
• 4] 9 kmphr

If the speed of a boat in still water is 20km/hr and the speed of the current is 5km, then the time taken by the boat to travel 100 km with the current is?

• 1] 2 hours
• 2] 3 hours
• 3] 4 hours
• 4] 7 hours

A man can row at a speed of \(4\frac{1}{2}\) km/hr in still water. If he takes 2 times as long to row a distance upstream as to row the same distance downstream, then the speed of stream (in km/hr) is-

• 1] 1
• 2] 1.5
• 3] 2
• 4] 2.5
