Important Questions on Boats and Streams Problems
A boat covers a distance of km in down stream in hours while it covers the same distance in upstream in hours. What is the speed of boat in still water?

The time taken by a motorboat to travel upstream is hours more than the time taken by it to travel the same distance downstream. The speed of the motorboat in still water is 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 downstream if due to wind, the speed of the stream increases by ?

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

The ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is , respectively. If a boat can travel a distance of upstream and downstream together in hours, then find the total time taken by the boat to cover in still water and downstream?

Ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is . The boat travels a distance of downstream and upstream. If the ratio of time taken by the boat to travel upstream and downstream is , respectively, then find the value of ?

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

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

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

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

A boat goes km downstream and, while returning, covers only of the distance that was covered in downstream. If the boat takes 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 m/s

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A boat covers a certain downstream in hour, while it connect back in hours. If the speed of the stream be , what is the speed of the baot in still water?

A boat whose speed in in still water goes downstream and comes back in a total of hours. The approx. speed of the stream (in ) is:
