Arithmetic Aptitude Data Interpretation

Q. A boat can travel at 12 km/h in still water. If it takes 3 hours to go upstream and 2 hours to return downstream, what is the speed of the current?

A. 1 km/h
B. 2 km/h
C. 3 km/h
D. 4 km/h

Solution

Let the speed of the current be x. Upstream speed = 12 - x, Downstream speed = 12 + x. Distance = 3(12 - x) = 2(12 + x). Solving gives x = 2 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 2 km/h

Q. A boat can travel at 18 km/h in still water. If it takes 4 hours to go upstream and 3 hours to return downstream, what is the speed of the current?

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

Solution

Let the speed of the current be x. Upstream speed = 18 - x, Downstream speed = 18 + x. Distance = 4(18 - x) = 3(18 + x). Solving gives x = 3 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 4 km/h

Q. A boat takes 3 hours to go 36 km upstream and 2 hours to return downstream. What is the speed of the stream?

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

Solution

Let the speed of the stream be x km/h. Upstream speed = (y - x) and downstream speed = (y + x). From the equations, we can derive that x = 2 km/h.

Correct Answer: A — 2 km/h

Q. A boat takes 4 hours to go 40 km upstream. If 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. A boat takes 5 hours to travel 60 km upstream. If the speed of the stream is 2 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 10 km/h
B. 12 km/h
C. 14 km/h
D. 16 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = 60/5 = 12 km/h. Speed of the boat in still water = speed upstream + speed of stream = 12 + 2 = 14 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 12 km/h

Q. A boat travels 20 km downstream in 2 hours. If 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 downstream = Distance/Time = 20 km / 2 h = 10 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 10 km/h - 2 km/h = 8 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 10 km/h

Q. A boat travels 30 km downstream in 2 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 12 km/h, what is the speed of the stream?

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

Solution

Let the speed of the stream be x km/h. Downstream speed = 12 + x. Therefore, 30/(12 + x) = 2. Solving gives x = 3 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 4 km/h

Q. A boat travels 30 km downstream in 2 hours. If the speed of the current is 5 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 10 km/h
B. 15 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 30/2 = 15 km/h. Speed of boat = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 15 - 5 = 10 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 20 km/h

Q. A boat travels 30 km downstream in 2 hours. If the speed of the stream is 5 km/h, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

A. 10 km/h
B. 15 km/h
C. 20 km/h
D. 25 km/h

Solution

Let the speed of the boat in still water be y km/h. Downstream speed = y + 5 km/h. Therefore, (y + 5) * 2 = 30. Solving gives y = 10 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 15 km/h

Q. A boat travels 40 km upstream in 5 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 8 km/h, what is the speed of the current?

A. 1 km/h
B. 2 km/h
C. 3 km/h
D. 4 km/h

Solution

Speed upstream = Distance/Time = 40/5 = 8 km/h. Thus, 8 - x = 8, so x = 0. The current speed is 0 km/h.

Correct Answer: D — 4 km/h

Q. A boat travels 50 km downstream in 2.5 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 20 km/h, what is the speed of the stream?

A. 2 km/h
B. 4 km/h
C. 6 km/h
D. 8 km/h

Solution

Speed downstream = 50/2.5 = 20 km/h. Speed of the stream = speed downstream - speed of boat = 20 - 20 = 0 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 4 km/h

Q. A boat travels 50 km downstream in 5 hours and returns upstream in 10 hours. What is the speed of the stream?

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

Solution

Let the speed of the stream be x km/h. Downstream speed = (y + x) and upstream speed = (y - x). From the equations, we can derive that x = 4 km/h.

Correct Answer: C — 4 km/h

Q. A boat travels 50 km downstream in 5 hours. If the speed of the current is 5 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 downstream = Distance/Time = 50 km / 5 h = 10 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 10 km/h - 5 km/h = 5 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 10 km/h

Q. A boat travels 60 km downstream in 3 hours. If the speed of the current 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

Speed downstream = Distance/Time = 60 km / 3 h = 20 km/h. Speed of boat in still water = Speed downstream - Speed of current = 20 km/h - 6 km/h = 14 km/h.

Correct Answer: B — 20 km/h

Q. A book is sold for $150 after a discount of 10%. What was the marked price?

A. $165
B. $160
C. $170
D. $155

Solution

Let Marked Price = x. Selling Price = x - 10% of x = 0.9x. 0.9x = 150. x = 150/0.9 = 165.

Correct Answer: A — $165
