boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 4: 1. How much time will the
boat take to cover 72 km upstream?

a. 2 hour 48 min b. 3 hour 12 min c. 2 hour 24 min d. 3 hour 28 min e.

takes 8 hours more upstream than downstream for the same distance. How far is
the place?

speed of a stream is 7 Km/hr. In total how much distance traveled by boat?

7. A Ship of Length 300m traveling from point A to B downstream passes a


Ghat along the river in 18 sec, while in return it passes the same Ghat in 24 sec.
If the rate of current is 9 Km/hr. Then what is the length of the Ghat?
a. 50 m b. 60 m c. 80 m d. 100 m e. Cannot be determined

8. A boat, while going downstream in a river covered a distance of 50 miles at


an average speed of 60 miles per hour. While returning, because of the water
resistance, it took 1 hr 15 minutes to cover the same distance. What was the
average speed during the whole journey?

boat downstream is 4: 9. What is the speed of the boat in still water if it covers
84 km downstream in 2 hours 20 minutes? (in km/h)

a. 24 b. 26 c. 22 d. 28 e. 30

10. Elite rowers can row upstream from Haridwar to Rishikesh in 5 hours. The
amount of time they take to row in still water for the same distance is 50 mins
more than the time they take to row downstream. What is the time taken by
them to row downstream from Rishikesh to Haridwar (given that it is greater
than 2 hours)?

a) 3.5 hours b) 2.25 hours c) 3 hours d) 2.5 hours

11. Vijay and Sujay start from two points P and Q on a river and travel towards
each other. If they had been travelling in still water they would have met at a
point R which is thrice as distant from Q as it is from P. If Sujay had been
travelling along the stream and Vijay against it they would have met in 1 hour.
What is the time (in minutes) they would take to meet if Vijay had been
travelling along the stream and Sujay against it?

60mins 20mins 30mins 120mins
