Rate of the stream = (8 - 6) km/hr = 1 km/hr. y = 3km/hr

Rate upstream = 2 km/hr. 6. A
1 Explanation – We, know that there is no speed of current in lake
Speed in still water = (6 + 2) km/hr = 4 km/hr.
2 Lets speed of boat B in still water = x km/hr
5 1 And, speed of boat A in still water = 1.5x km/hr
Required time = hrs = 1 hr 15 min. If boat A did not loss time, it would reach one hours earlier

y= Q11. Ans(E)
260 ×19.5
y = 4 km/hr Explanation :
boat usual speed = 4 × 3 = 12 km/hr S+R = D/t ; S-R+x = D/t
8. B S+R = S-R+x
Let speed of boat = x km/hr, and of current = y km/hr R =x/2
So Can’t determine
18/(x-y) = 18/(x+y) + 4
Gives x2 = 9y + y2……..(1) Q12. Ans(B)
Now when speed of boat is 2x/3 Explanation :
14/(2x/3 -y) = 14/(2x/3 +y) + 12 19 = 240/60 + 240/60+x + 480/20+x
42/(2x-3y) = 42/(2x+3y) + 12 x = 20
Gives 4x2 = 21y + 9y2…………(2)
From (1), put value of x2 in (2) and solve Q13. Ans(D)
Solving, x = 6, y = 3 Explanation :
9. D
Let x be speed of the boat and y be the speed of the current.
Downstream speed = x + y
Upstream speed = x – y
x –y = 30/6 = 5 km/hr.
Now,
x = 4y
x – y = 4y – y = 3y
=> x = (20/3)km/hr and y = (5/3)km/hr
Therefore, x + y = (25/3) km/hr.
Time during downstream = 90/25 =3.6 hrs.
10. B
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.

x–y the speed of the boat in still water is 66.66% more than that of the
speed of stream
⇒ x – y = 6 ............ (ii)
Let the speed of stream = x km/hr
Adding equations (i) and (ii)
Then speed of the boat will become = 166.66% of x

= km/hr = 27 km/hr
48x = 5x2 – 20 2.5
The speed of the motorboat in upstream = 10 – 2 = 8 km per hour ∴ Difference between speed of boat in still water and speed of stream
= (8 – 1) = 7 units
Q57. Ans(A)
Explanation: = 7 × 3 = 21 km/hr.
Distance travelled by boat in upstream in 5 hours = 21 × 5 = 105 km
Ratio of speed of boat in still water to speed of stream = 8 : 1 Its upstream speed = 80% of 5x = 4x km per hour
= 7 × 3 = 21 km/hr. By solving, x = 2
x = 8 hours
