The distance between Point Xand Point Y is 80 km. Boat A could travel from Point X to Y upstream and Point Y to X downstream in total of 30 hours. Boat B could travel from Point X to Y upstream and Point Y to X downstream in a total of 9 hours. If the speed of boat B in still water is thrice of boat A in still water, what is the speed of Boat B? (Please note: speed of the current is constant for both):

Important Questions on Ratio and Proportion

MEDIUM
A boat travels 16 km upstream in 4 hours and 12 km downstream in 6 hours. What is the speed (in km/hr) of boat in still water?
HARD
A man can row 24 km in upstream and 54 km in downstream in 6 hours. He can also row 36 km in upstream and 48 km in downstream in 8 hours. What is the speed of the man in still water?
MEDIUM
A sailor takes 12 hours to cover a distance of 75 kms against the current, while he takes 7.5 hours to cover the same distance in the direction of the current. What is the speed of the current? 
MEDIUM

The downstream speed of a boat is 42 km/hr and the speed of current is 3 km/hr. What is the total time (in hours) taken by the boat to cover 72 km upstream and 84 km downstream?

MEDIUM
The speed of boat A is 2 km/h less than the speed of the boat B. The time taken by boat A to travel a distance of 20 km downstream is 30 min more than time taken by B to travel the same distance downstream. If the speed of the current is one-third of the speed of the boat A, what is the speed of boat B?
MEDIUM
The speed of a boat in still water is 20 km/hr. It covers a distance of 40 km upstream in 8 hours. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the stream?
MEDIUM

A boat in still water takes 15 hours to reach its destination and come back from there. In the same river, it takes 16 hours for the same journey where there is a current in the water. The difference between the speed of the boat and the river current is 15 km/hr. Find out the speed of the river?

MEDIUM
The time taken by a boat to travel 13 km downstream is the same as time taken by it to travel 7 km upstream. If the speed of the stream is 3 km/h, then how much time (in hours) will it take to travel a distance of 44.8 km in still water? 
EASY

Ratio between speed of boat in still water to speed of stream is 8:1.If 67.5 kms is travelled downstream in 2.5 hours then find the difference between speed of boat in still water to speed of stream?

EASY

Quantity 1: Ratio between the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 2:1. Total time taken by a man to cover distance of 72 km in upstream and comeback is 32 hours. Find downstream speed.

Quantity 2: 9 9 km/h.

MEDIUM

The speed of a stream is 3 km/hr. A boat goes 60 km and comes back to the starting point in 15 hours. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the boat in still water?

MEDIUM
The ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of boat in upstream is 9:7, if speed of current is 3 km/h, then find distance travelled by boat in upstream in 5 hours.
MEDIUM
A boat goes 15 km upstream and 1012 km downstream in 3 hours 15 minutes. It goes 12 km upstream and 14 km downstream in 3 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
MEDIUM

Speed of a boat along with the current and against the current are 12 km/hr and 6 km/hr respectively. What is the speed of the boat (in km/hr) in still water?

EASY
A man can row a distance of 900 meters against the stream in 12 minutes and returns to the stalling point in 9 minutes. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water?
MEDIUM
A boat can go 3.6km and 5.4km down stream in 54min, while it can go 5.4km upstream and 3.6km down stream in 58.5min. The time (in minutes) taken by the boat in going 10km down stream is:
MEDIUM
A boat can go 3km upstream and 5km downstream in 55 min. It can also go 4km upstream and 9km downstream in 1hr 25min. In how much time(in hours) it will go 43.2km downstream?
MEDIUM
The speed of the boat in still water is 500% more than the speed of the current. What is the respective ratio between the speed of the boat in downstream and speed of the boat in upstream?
MEDIUM
A boat can travel 14.4 km downstream in 32 min. If the speed of the current is 3 km/h, how much time the boat will take to travel 84 km upstream?
HARD
A boat can travel 12.6 km downstream in 35 minutes. If the speed of the water current is one - fourth the speed of the boat in still water, what distance the boat can travel upstream in 28 minutes?
