2. A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current
is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is:
A.8.5 km/hr B.9 km/hr
C. 10 km/hr D.12.5 km/hr
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.

Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

3. 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?
A.2 : 1 B.3 : 2
 C. 8 : 3 D.Cannot be determined
E. None of these
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y

kmph.

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered

downstream in 4 hrs.

downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. The
- Pablo Picasso speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:
A.4 B.5
C. 6 D.10
Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr. Then,

Speed downstream = (15 + x) km/hr,

Speed upstream = (15 - x) km/hr.

30 30 1

=
225 - x2 2

9x2 = 225

x2 = 25
 x = 5 km/hr.
