Options- A. 1.3 km/hr
- B. 1.2 km/hr
- C. 1.6 km/hr
- D. 1.5 km/hr
- Correct Answer
- 1.5 km/hr

Options- A. 8.5 km/hr
- B. 6.5 km/hr
- C. 6 km/hr
- D. 4.25 km/hr Discuss
- 3. 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 Discuss
- 4. 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

Options- A. 6 km/hr
- B. 15 km/hr
- C. 14 km/hr
- D. 17 km/hr Discuss
- 6. 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
- 7. 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
- C. 12 km/hr
- D. 8.25 km/hr Discuss
- 8. The speed of a boat in still water is 15 km/hr and the rate of current is 3 km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 12 minute is?
Options- A. 3.6 km
- B. 2.4 km
- C. 1.2 km
- D. 1.8 km Discuss

Options- A. 70 km
- B. 72 km
- C. 64 km
- D. 81 km Discuss
- 10. A man can row upstream 36 m in 6 hours. If the speed of a man in still water is 8 km/hr, find how much he can go downstream in 10 hours?

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: 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: 5 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed 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
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: 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
Correct Answer: 3.6 km
Explanation:
Downstream speed = 15 + 3 = 18 km/hr.
Required distance = (18 x 12)/60 = 3.6 km
Correct Answer: 72 km
Explanation:
? Upstream rate = 32/4 = 8 km/hr
? Speed of man in still water = 8 + 2 = 10 km/hr
? Downstream rate = (10 + 2) = 12 km/hr
Now, the required distance = 12 x 6 = 72 km
Correct Answer: 100 km
Explanation:
? Speed of current = 8 - 36/6 = 2 km/hr
? Rate downstream = (8 + 2) = 10 km/hr
? Required distance = (8 + 2) x 10 = 100 km
