A motorboat can cover 80 km upstream and 120 km downstream together in 26 hours. Also it can cover 100 km upstream and 144 km downstream together in 32 hours. What is the speed of the motorboat in still water? A) 12 km/hr B) 15km/hr C) 8.5km/hr D) 19km/hr

Description : A motorboat can cover 80 km upstream and 120 km downstream together in 26 hours. Also it can cover 100 km upstream and 144 km downstream together in 32 hours. What is the speed of the motorboat in still water? A) 12 km/hr B) 15km/hr C) 8.5km/hr D) 19km/hr 

Last Answer : ANSWER :C Explanation:  Upstream speed in both cases is 80 and 100.  Ratio is 80 : 100 = 8:10 = 4 : 5.  So let times in both cases be 4x and 5x  Downstream speed in both cases is 120 and 144 resp.  Ratio is ... 12 km/hr  So speed of boat = 1/2 * (5+12) =17/2km/hr  speed of boat = 8.5 km/hr

If a boy rows 8 km downstream in 6 hours and 4 km upstream in 4 hours then how long will he take to cover 16 km in stationary (still) water? A) 8 B) 14 C) 22 D) 16

Description : If a boy rows 8 km downstream in 6 hours and 4 km upstream in 4 hours then how long will he take to cover 16 km in stationary (still) water? A) 8 B) 14 C) 22 D) 16 

Last Answer : Answer: B Explanation: Distance covered in downstream = 8 km Time taken in downstream = 6 hours. Rate of downstream = 8/6=4/3 km/hr Distance covered in upstream = 4 km Time taken in upstream = 4hours. ... 3+1) = 7/6km/hr Time Taken to cover 16 km in still water = 16*6/7=14hrs (approximately)

A man goes 4km upstream of the stream in 2hr and goes 2km downstream of the stream in 20mints. How long will it take to go 10km in stationary water? A) 1hr 15mits B) 2hrs 30mints C) 5hrs 30mints D) 3hrs 45mints

Description : A man goes 4km upstream of the stream in 2hr and goes 2km downstream of the stream in 20mints. How long will it take to go 10km in stationary water? A) 1hr 15mits B) 2hrs 30mints C) 5hrs 30mints D) 3hrs 45mints

Last Answer : ANSWER : B Explanation:  Rate downstream = (2/20 * 60) km/hr  = 6 km/hr  Rate upstream = 2 km/hr  Speed in still water = ½(6+2)km/hr  = 4 km/hr  Required time = distance / speed  = (10/4) hrs =(5/2)hrs =2 ½ hrs = 2hrs 30mits.

Speed of a boat in standing water is 9kmph and the speed of the stream is 1.5kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 10.5 km and comes back to the starting point. Find the total time taken by him. A.24 hours B.16 hours C.20 hours D.15 hours

Description : Speed of a boat in standing water is 9kmph and the speed of the stream is 1.5kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 10.5 km and comes back to the starting point. Find the total time taken by him. A.24 hours B.16 hours C.20 hours D.15 hours

Last Answer : Answer- A Basic Formula: i. speed = distance traveled / time taken ii. speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr iii. speed in still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr Explanation: Speed in still water= ½ (a+b) = 9km ... gives a = 10.5km/hr ; b=7.5 kmphr Total time taken by him = 105/10.5 + 105/7.5 = 24 hours

Description : 3. An army contingent of 616 members is to march behind an army band of 32 members in a parade. The two groups are to march in the same number of columns. What is the maximum number of columns in which they can march? -Maths 10th

Last Answer : Given, Number of army contingent members=616 Number of army band members = 32 If the two groups have to march in the same column, we have to find out the highest common factor between the two groups. HCF(616, ... HCF (616, 32) = 8. Hence, the maximum number of columns in which they can march is 8.
