A swimmer can swim downstream at 13 km/h and upstream at 7 km/h. Find the speed of swimmer in still water.

A6 km/h

B20 km/h

C10 km/h

D8 km/h

Answer:

C. 10 km/h

Read Explanation:

Let speed of swimmer in still water is S and speed of current is C S + C = 13 S - C = 7 S=[13+7]/2 =10

A man rows 750 m in 600 seconds against the stream and returns in 7127\frac{1}{2} minutes. Its rowing speed in still water is (in km/ hr).

In one hour, a boat goes 11 km/hr along the stream and 5 km/hr against the stream. The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr) is :
A boat moving upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a distance while it takes 4 hours to return to the starting point, downstream. What is the ratio of the speed of boat in still water to that of water current?
Speed of a speed-boat when moving in the direction parallel to the direction of the current is 16 km/hr. Speed of the current is 3 km/hr. So the speed of the boat against the current will be (in km/hr)
Find the difference in time taken by the boat travelling at 25 km/hr to cover 60 km while travelling upstream and downstream. Speed of the stream is 5 km/hr?
