5. A boat goes a certain distance upstream and comes back downstream to the starting
point in 144 min. If the speed of the boat in still water becomes 66.67% of the original,

boat in still water and speed of current?
A. 7 : 1 B. 6 : 1 C. 5 : 3 D. 7 : 2 E. None of these
6. The speed of current is 5 km/h. What will be the respective downstream speed and

stream?
A. 5 : 1 B. 6 : 1 C. 5 : 3 D. 7 : 1 E. None of these
8. Rohit can row a boat 65Km upstream and 130Km downstream in 23 hours, whereas he

9. If the ratio of the speed of a boat in upstream and the speed of the stream is 8 : 1. If
the boat can travel 500 km downstream in 20 hours then find the total distance
travelled by the boat in still water in the same time?
A. 425 km B. 459 km C. 441 km D. 450 km E. None of these
10. The ratio of the time taken by a boat to go a certain distance upstream and return
downstream halfway of the same distance is 18 : 5. If the speed of stream is 4km/h

upstream?
A. 192 km B. 188 km C. 208 km D. 175 km E. None of these

Explanations:
1. Let the speed of boat in still water and speed of stream be 5x and 2x respectively.
224
= 5x + 2x
4
224
x= ×4
7
32
x= =8
4
Required difference = 5x – 2x = 3x
3x = 24 km/hr
As the object covers 100m in 50 sec , so the distance travelled by the object will be with the help of the
speed of the stream only.
100
Speed of stream = = 2 m/s
50
Given that,
(s – 2) = (s + 2) – 50 (s + 2)/100
(s – 2) = (s + 2)(1 – 1/2)
s = 6 m/sec
6 × 18 108
s= = km/hr
5 5
2 × 18
= = 7.2 km per hour
5
4.
Distance between A and B after 3 hrs = [3 (3k – c) + 3 (2k + c)] km = (9k – 3c + 6k + 3c) km = 15k km
When the speed of the boat becomes 66.67% → new boat speed = 2B
D D
+ = 224 ..........eq.(ii)
2B + C 2B – C
6 × (4B2 – C2) 9
=
4 × (9B2 – C2) 14
4B2 – C2 3
=
9B2 – C2 7
B 2
B2 = 4C2 → =
C 1
3B 6
=
C 1
⇒ X + 5 = 3X – 15
⇒ 2X = 20
⇒ X = 10 km/h
Downstream speed = 10 + 5 = 15 km/h
Upstream speed = 10 – 5 = 5 km/h
Hence, option A is correct.
7. Let speed of man in still water = x km/h
So,
2A A
= 24 and = 16
x+y x–y
⇒ 4x – 4y = 3x + 3y
x 7
⇒ =
y 1

+ = 23

+ = 17

From the equation (ii) speed of boat in still water = 9x = 9 × 2.5 = 22.5 km/hr
The total distance travelled by the boat in still water in 20 hours = 450 km

S up 5
S down = b + c, S up = b – c
(b + c) 9
