Important Questions on Boats and Streams Problems

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A boat covers a distance of 24 km in down stream in 4 hours while it covers the same distance in upstream in 6 hours. What is the speed of boat in still water?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The time taken by a motorboat to travel 1050 km upstream is 40 hours more than the time taken by it to travel the same distance downstream. The speed of the motorboat in still water is 500% more than that of the speed of the stream.

Quantity I: How much time will the motorboat take to travel the same distance upstream?

Quantity II: How much time will the motorboat take to travel 1500 km downstream if due to wind, the speed of the stream increases by 20%?

 

 

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

The ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is 14:3, respectively. If a boat can travel a distance of 99 km upstream and 119 km downstream together in 8 hours, then find the total time taken by the boat to cover 84 km in still water and 51 km downstream?

IMPORTANT

The ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is 14:3, respectively. If a boat can travel a distance of 99 km upstream and 119 km downstream together in 8 hours, then find the total time taken by the boat to cover 84 km in still water and 51 km downstream?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is 9:2. The boat travels a distance of (D+40) km downstream and D km upstream. If the ratio of time taken by the boat to travel upstream and downstream is 4:3, respectively, then find the value of D?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Speed of A boat downstream is 12% more than the speed of boat in still water. If a boat can travel 77 km upstream and 126 km downstream in 8 hours, then find the time taken by boat to cover 154 km upstream as well as downstream?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Ratio between the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 8:1. If 67.5 km is traveled downstream in 2.5hours, then find the difference between the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream (in kmph)?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A boat covers 122.5 km distance downstream at 30 kmph and 240 km upstream at 6 kmph. If the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream are increased by 1119% and 25%, respectively, then what is the total time taken by the boat to cover the same distance upstream and downstream?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A boat can cover 100 km upstream and 90 km downstream in 6 hours. The downstream speed of the boat is 80% more than the upstream speed. Find the time taken by boat to travel 150 km upstream with a stream speed double the normal stream speed

EASY
IMPORTANT

A boat goes 28 km downstream and, while returning, covers only 75% of the distance that was covered in downstream. If the boat takes 3 hr more to cover the upstream than downstream, then find the speed of the boat in still water (km/hr) if the speed of the stream is 59 m/s

EASY
IMPORTANT

A man can row 8 km/hr in still water. When the river is running at 4 km/hr, it takes him 213 hr to row to a place and come back. How far is the place?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A boat goes 4 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 15 km in stationary water?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A boat running downstream covers a distance of 40 km in 5 hrs and for covering the same distance upstream it takes 10 hrs. What is the speed of the stream?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 2 hour, while it comes back in 212 hours. If the speed of the stream be 5 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

EASY
IMPORTANT

A man can row 8 km/hr in still water. When the river is running at 4 km/hr, it takes him 213 hr to row to a place and come back. How far is the place? 

EASY
IMPORTANT

A man rows to a place 40 km distant and come back in 9 hours. He finds that he can row 5 km with the stream in the same time as 4 km against the steram. The rate of the stream is:
