Hence the effective speed was 18 km\/hr. Let the speed of the stream was \u2018x\u2019. So the speed of the Sumit will be 8x.<br \/>\nHence, 9x = 18<br \/>\n=&gt; x = 2<br \/>\nNow while coming back the speed of the stream has doubled. So it has become 4. He will now be rowing upstream. So effective speed will be 16 &#8211; 4 = 12<br \/>\nHence, required time = 180\/12 = 15 hours<\/p>\n<p><strong>13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Time taken by boat\u00a0to travel from point A to B in still water\u00a0= 2 hours<\/p>\n<p>To find the upstream speed, we definitely need the speed of stream, thus statement (iii) is mandatory.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the distance between points A and B or the speed of boat in still water is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, statements (i) and (iii) are required to find the upstream speed of the boat.<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; Ans &#8211; (D)<\/p>\n<p><strong>14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let speed of boat in still water = $x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; Speed of current = $y$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>Let distance travelled = $d$ km<\/p>\n<p>Acc. to ques, =&gt; $2.2 (\\frac{d}{x + y}) = \\frac{d}{x &#8211; y}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $2.2x &#8211; 2.2y = x + y$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $2.2x &#8211; x = y + 2.2y$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $3x = 8y$ &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-(i)<\/p>\n<p>Also, the man takes 2 hrs 30 mins in travelling 55 km downstream.<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{55}{x + y} = 2 + \\frac{1}{2}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{55}{x + y} = \\frac{5}{2}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $x + y = 22$<\/p>\n<p>Multiplying both sides by 8, and using eqn(i), we get\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $8x + 3x = 22 \\times 8$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $x = \\frac{22 \\times 8}{11} = 16$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p><strong>16)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let speed of current = $x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; Speed of boat in still water = $6x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>Acc. to ques, =&gt; $\\frac{105}{7x} + \\frac{105}{5x} = 12$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{15}{x} + \\frac{21}{x} = 12$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{36}{x} = 12$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $x = \\frac{36}{12} = 3$<\/p>\n<p>$\\therefore$ Speed of boat in still water = $6 \\times 3 = 18$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p><strong>17)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let speed of current = $x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; Speed of boat in still water = $8x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>Acc. to ques, =&gt; $\\frac{63}{9x} + \\frac{63}{7x} = 8$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{7}{x} + \\frac{9}{x} = 8$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{16}{x} = 8$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $x = \\frac{16}{8} = 2$<\/p>\n<p>$\\therefore$ Speed of boat in still water = $8 \\times 2 = 16$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p><strong>18)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let speed of boat in still water = $x$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p>Let distance travelled downstream = $2d$ km<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; Distance travelled upstream = $d$ km<\/p>\n<p>Using, $time = \\frac{distance}{speed}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $6 = \\frac{2d}{x + 4}$ &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;(i)<\/p>\n<p>and $5 = \\frac{d}{x &#8211; 4}$ &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;(ii)<\/p>\n<p>Dividing eqn(i) from (ii), we get :<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{6}{5} = \\frac{\\frac{2d}{x + 4}}{\\frac{d}{x &#8211; 4}}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $\\frac{6}{5} = \\frac{2 (x &#8211; 4)}{x + 4}$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $6x + 24 = 10x &#8211; 40$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $10x &#8211; 6x = 24 + 40 = 64$<\/p>\n<p>=&gt; $x = \\frac{64}{4} = 16$ km\/hr<\/p>\n<p><strong>19)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speed of boat in still water<\/p>\n<p>= $\\frac{1}{2}$ (downstream + upstream)<\/p>\n<p>= $\\frac{1}{2} (13 + 9) = \\frac{22}{2}$<\/p>\n<p>= $11$ kmph<\/p>\n<p><strong>20)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speed of current = $\\frac{1}{2}$ (downstream &#8211; upstream)<\/p>\n<p>= $\\frac{1}{2} (9 &#8211; 6)$<\/p>\n<p>= $\\frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ kmph<\/p>\n<p><strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/ibps-po-previous-papers\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-info \">IBPS PO Previous Papers (Download PDF)<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=in.cracku.app&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn btn-danger \">Download IBPS PO Free Preparation App<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boat and Stream Questions For IBPS PO Download Boat and Stream Questions For IBPS PO PDF.
