Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

Speed of the boat upstream = (25-5)km/hr = 20 km/hr
Speed of the boat downstream = (25+5)km/hr = 30 km/hr
Distance = 60 km
Time taken upstream = 60/20 = 3 hours
Time taken downstream = 60/30 = 2 hours
Difference in time taken = 3-2 = 1 hour

2) Answer (C)

Since it takes twice as long in upstream,
Net speed in Upstream = x
Net speed in downstream = 2x
Let the speed of stream be y
24-y = x
24+y = 2x
24+y = 2(24-y)
3y = 24
y = 8

3) Answer (B)

Let the speed of the boat be x.

Speed of the boat Upstream = x-4

90/(x-4) = 3

x = 34km/hr

4) Answer (B)

Speed of the boat upstream = (57-7)km/hr = 50km/hr
Time = 2 hours
Distance = 50*2 = 100km

5) Answer (A)

Distance = 60km
Let speed of the boat be x
Speed of the boat upstream = (x-4) km/hr
Speed of the boat downstream = (x+4)km/hr
Total time = 8 hours
$\frac{60}{x-4} + \frac{60}{x+4} = 8$
$x^2-15x-16 = 0$
$x^2-16x+x-16 = 0$
(x+1)(x-16) = 0
x = -1 or +16

As speed cannot be negative, x=16km/hr

6) Answer (D)

Speed of the boat upstream = 25-5 = 20km/hr
Speed of the boat downstream = 25+5 = 30km/hr
Time take =$\frac{120}{30}+\frac{120}{20}$ = 4+6 hrs = 10 hrs

7) Answer (B)

Let the speed of the current be c

Speed of the swimmer = s

s + c = 13 ….. (1)

s – c = 10 …….(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1), we get 2c = 3 or c = 1.5

8) Answer (B)

Let the man’s speed be m and the speed of current be c

Time taken in downstream = $ \frac{28}{m+c}$ = 5

Time taken in upsteam = $ \frac{16}{m-c}$ = 5

Subtracting second equation from first equation, we get 10 c = 12 or c = 1.2

9) Answer (B)

The relative speed of the boat in upstream = 30 – 5 = 25 kmph
Distance = 50 kms
Time = 50 / 25 = 2 hours.

Relative speed in downstream = 30 + 5 = 35 kmph
Distance = 70 kms
Time = 70/35 = 2 hours.

Total time = 2 + 2 = 4 hours.

10) Answer (C)

Let ‘s’ be the speed of the boat and ‘w’ be the speed of the stream.
We have, s = 27 km/hr and $\frac{27}{s-w} = 1.5 $ hour
So s – w = 18 so w = 9 km/hr
We get, $\frac{90}{18+9} = 2.5$ hour
Hence, option C is the right choice.

11) Answer (A)

Speed of boat in still water = x say

Speed of stream = y say

During upstream, speed = x-y = 3kmph ——-(1)

During downstream, speed = x+y = 49/7 = 7 kmph ——-(2)

On solving (1) & (2)

x = 5 kmph & y = 2 kmph

So the answer is option A.

12) Answer (C)

Let x, y are the speeds of boat and river.

Speed during upstream = x-y = 3 ——-(1)

speed during downstream = x+y = 49/7 = 7——-(2)

On solving (1) & (2)

x = 5 kmph y = 2 kmph

So the answer is option C.

13) Answer (C)

Let x be the speed of the boat in still water,

During upstream, speed $S_1=x-2$

During downstream, speed $S_2=x+2$

$S_1t_1=S_2t_2$

$(x-2)(6) = (x+2)(2)$

$6x-12 = 2x+4$

$4x = 16$

$x = 4 kmph$

So the answer is option C.

14) Answer (D)

Let x be the speed of the river.

During upstream, speed = 4-x kmph , time = 12hrs

During downstream, speed = 4+x kmph, time = 4hrs

(4-x)(12) = (4+x)(4)

48-12x = 16+4x

32 = 16x

x = 2

So the answer is option D.

15) Answer (A)

Relative speed during downstream = 7+5 = 12 kmph

Time = 30 mins = 1/2 hr = 0.5 hrs

Distance = Speed*Time = 12*0.5 = 6 km

So the answer is option A.
