Boats and Streams problems
- 1. A boat takes 2 hours to travel from point A to B in still water. To find out its speed upstream, which of the following information is/are required? A. Distance between point A and B. B. Time taken to travel downstream from B to A. C. Speed of the stream of water.
Options- A. Only A and B
- B. Only B and C
- C. All are required
- D. Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, GATE, Analyst, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient
Explanation:
Let distance between A & B = d km
Let speed in still water = x kmph
Let speed of current = y kmph
from the given data,
d/x = 2
From A) we get d
From B) we get d/x+y
From C) we get y
So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
