How long will it take to row 20 km upstream if one can row 10 km in 10 minutes in still water and the same distance in 8 minutes with the stream?Â
A boat travels from point A to B, a distance of 12 km. From A it travels 4 km downstream in 15 minutes and the remaining 8 km upstream to reach B. If the downstream speed is twice as high as the upstream speed, what is the average speed of the boat for the journey from A to B?
A boatman can row 2 km against the stream in 20 minutes and return in 10 minutes. Find the rate of flow of the current.Â
A man can row a boat at a speed of 20 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 5 km/hr, in what time he can row a distance of 75 km downstream?Â
A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?Â
A motorboat, whose speed in 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. The speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:Â
In one hour, a boat goes 13 km/hr in the direction of the stream and 7 km/hr against the direction of the stream. What will be the speed of the boat in still water?Â
A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream.Â
Rahul can row a certain distance downstream in 6 hour and return the same distance in 9 hour. If the speed of Rahul in still water is 12 km/hr, Find the speed of the stream.Â
At his usual rowing rate, Rahul can travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in 6 hours less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his 24 mile round trip, the downstream 12 miles would then take only one hour less than the upstream 12 miles. What is the speed of the current in miles per hour?Â
Bunty is going up the escalator. It takes Bunty 80 seconds to walk up the escalator which is moving upwards and 120 seconds to walk up the escalator which is moving downwards. Calculate the time taken by Bunty to climb the escalator which is stationary
A man swimming in a river which is flowing at 3Â km/hr finds that in a given time he can swim twice as far downstream as he can swim upstream. What will be his speed in still water?Â
The velocity of a boat in still water is 9 km/hr, and the speed of the stream is 2.5 km/hr. How much time will the boat take to go 9.1 km against the stream?Â
A boat covers 12 km upstream and 18km downstream in 3 hours while it covers 36km upstream and 24 km downstream in 6[1/2] hours, what is the velocity of the stream?
A boat makes a return journey from point A to point B and back in 5 hours 36 minutes. One way it travels with the stream and on the return it travels against the stream. If the speed of the stream increases by 2 km/hr, the return journey takes 9 hours 20 minutes. What is the speed of the boat in still water? (The distance between A and B is 16 km.)
