- Question
- The speed of a boat in still water is 12 km per hour. Going downstream it moves at the rate of 19 km per hour. The speed of the boat against the stream is?
Options- A. 5 km/hr
- B. 3 km/hr
- C. 8 km/hr
- D. Data inadequate
- Correct Answer
- 5 km/hr
ExplanationSpeed of stream = speed in downstream - Speed in still water
? Speed of stream = 19 - 12 = 7 km/hr
Speed of boat against stream = Speed in still water - Speed of stream.
? Speed of boat against stream = 12 - 7 = 5 km/hr - 1. The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr. If its speed down stream be 13 km/hr, then speed of the stream is?
Options- A. 1.5 km/hr
- B. 3 km/hr
- C. 11.5 km/hr
- D. 5.75 km/hr Discuss
- 2. A boat goes 14 km upstream in 56 minutes. The speed of stream is 2 km/hr. The speed of boat in still water is?
Options- A. 6 km/hr
- B. 15 km/hr
- C. 14 km/hr
- D. 17 km/hr Discuss
- 3. The speed of a boat in still water is 2 km/hr. If its speed upstream be 1 km/hr, then speed of the stream is?
Options- A. 2 km/hr
- B. 3 km/hr
- C. 1 km/hr
- D. None of these Discuss
- 4. A man can row with the stream at 11 km/hr and against the stream at 8 km/hr. The speed of the stream is?
Options- A. 3 km/hr
- B. 9.5 km/hr
- C. 1.5 km/hr
- D. 6 km/hr Discuss
- 5. A man can row downstream at 14 km/hr and upstream at 9km/hr. Man's rate in still water is?
Options- A. 5 km/hr
- B. 23 km/hr
- C. 11.5 km/hr
- D. None of these of these Discuss
- 6. If a man rows at the rate of 5 km/hr in still water and his rate against the current is 3.5 km/hr, then the man's rate along the current is?
Options- A. 8.5 km/hr
- B. 6.5 km/hr
- C. 6 km/hr
- D. 4.25 km/hr Discuss
- 7. A man rows upstream 16 km and downstream 27 km talking 5 hours each time. What is the velocity of current?
Options- A. 2 km/hr
- B. 2.1 km/hr
- C. 1.1 km/hr
- D. None of these Discuss
- 8. A boat moves downstream at the rate of one km in 7 1/ 2 minutes and upstream at the rate of 5 km an hour. What is the velocity of current?
Options- A. 1.3 km/hr
- B. 1.2 km/hr
- C. 1.6 km/hr
- D. 1.5 km/hr Discuss
- 9. A person rows a kilometre down the stream in 10 minute and upstream in 30 minutes. Find the velocity of the stream?
Options- A. 1 km/hr
- B. 2 km/hr
- C. 3 km/hr
- D. 4 km/hr Discuss
- 10. The speed of a boat downstream is 15 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 1.5 km/hr. The speed of the boat upstream?
Options- A. 13.5 km/hr
- B. 16.5 km/hr

Correct Answer: 3 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed in still water + Speed of stream = Speed in downstream.
? 10 + y = 13
? y = 13 - 10 = 3 km/hr
Correct Answer: 17 km/hr
Explanation:
? Speed upstream = 14 x (60/56) = 15 km/hr
Speed in upstream = Speed in still water - Speed of stream.
? x - 2 = 15
? x = 17 km/hr
Correct Answer: 1 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed in upstream = Speed in still water - Speed of stream.
? 1 = 2 - x
? x = 2 - 1 = 1 km/hr
Correct Answer: 1.5 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed of stream = (11 - 8)/2 km/hr = 1.5 km/hr
Correct Answer: 11.5 km/hr
Explanation:
Man's rate in still water = (14 + 9)/2 km/hr = 11.5 km/hr
Correct Answer: 6.5 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed of current = 5 - 3.5 = 1.5 km/hr
Man's speed along the current = Man speed in still water + speed of current.
? Man's speed along the current = 5 + 1.5 = 6.5 km/hr
Correct Answer: 1.1 km/hr
Explanation:
Man's rate upstream = 16/5 km/hr
Man's rate downstream = 27/5 km/hr
? Velocity of the current = (27/5 - 16/5)/2 km/hr = 1.1 km/hr
Correct Answer: 1.5 km/hr
Explanation:
Rate downstream = (2/15) x 60 km/hr = 8 km/hr
Rate upstream = 5 km/hr
? Velocity of the current = (8 - 5)/2 km/hr = 1.5 km/hr
Correct Answer: 2 km/hr
Explanation:
Velocity of stream = (downstream velocity - upstream velocity)/2
= (60/10 - 60/30)/2
= 2 km/hr
Correct Answer: 12 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed of boat in still water = 15 - 1.5 = 13.5 km/hr
Speed of boat in upstream = 13.5 - 1.5 = 12 km/hr
