Q. If a boat can go 20 km upstream in 4 hours, what is the speed of the boat in still water if the speed of the stream is 2 km/h?

A. 3 km/h
B. 4 km/h
C. 5 km/h
D. 6 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = 20/4 = 5 km/h. Speed of the boat in still water = speed upstream + speed of stream = 5 + 2 = 7 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 5 km/h

Q. If a boat can go 25 km/h in still water and the current is 5 km/h, how long will it take to travel 60 km downstream?

A. 1.5 hours
B. 2 hours
C. 2.5 hours
D. 3 hours

Solution

Speed downstream = 25 + 5 = 30 km/h. Time = Distance/Speed = 60/30 = 2 hours.

Correct Answer: B — 2 hours

Q. If a boat can travel 20 km downstream in 1 hour, what is the speed of the boat in still water if the speed of the current is 4 km/h?

A. 12 km/h
B. 16 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 20 km / 1 h = 20 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 20 km/h - 4 km/h = 16 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 16 km/h

A. 2 km/h
B. 3 km/h
C. 4 km/h
D. 5 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = Distance/Time = 30 km / 5 h = 6 km/h. Speed of current = Speed of boat in still water - Speed upstream = 8 km/h - 6 km/h = 2 km/h.

Correct Answer: A — 2 km/h

Q. If a boat can travel 40 km downstream in 2 hours, and the speed of the stream is 5 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 15 km/h
B. 20 km/h
C. 25 km/h
D. 30 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = 40/2 = 20 km/h. Speed of the boat in still water = speed downstream - speed of stream = 20 - 5 = 15 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 20 km/h

Q. If a boat can travel 40 km upstream in 4 hours, and the speed of the current is 2 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 8 km/h
B. 10 km/h
C. 12 km/h
D. 14 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = Distance/Time = 40 km / 4 h = 10 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed upstream + Speed of current = 10 km/h + 2 km/h = 12 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 10 km/h

Q. If a boat can travel 50 km downstream in 2 hours, and the speed of the current is 5 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 20 km/h
B. 25 km/h
C. 30 km/h
D. 35 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 50 km / 2 h = 25 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 25 km/h - 5 km/h = 20 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 25 km/h

Q. If a boat can travel 60 km downstream in 3 hours, and the speed of the stream is 6 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 18 km/h
B. 20 km/h
C. 22 km/h
D. 24 km/h

Solution

Let the speed of the boat in still water be y km/h. Downstream speed = y + 6 km/h. Therefore, (y + 6) * 3 = 60. Solving gives y = 18 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 20 km/h

Q. If a boat can travel 60 km downstream in 4 hours, what is the speed of the current if the speed of the boat in still water is 15 km/h?

A. 3 km/h
B. 4 km/h
C. 5 km/h
D. 6 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 60 km / 4 h = 15 km/h. Speed of current = Speed downstream - Speed of boat in still water = 15 km/h - 15 km/h = 0 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 5 km/h

Q. If a boat goes 20 km upstream in 4 hours, what is the speed of the current if the speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/h?

A. 2 km/h
B. 3 km/h
C. 4 km/h
D. 5 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = Speed of boat - Speed of current. Distance = 20 km, Time = 4 hours. Speed upstream = 20/4 = 5 km/h. Thus, 10 - x = 5, so x = 5 km/h.

Correct Answer: A — 2 km/h
