A man rows a boat 18 km in 4 hour down stream and returns upstream in 12 hours. The speed of the stream in km/hr is

A1

B1.5

C2

D1.75

Answer:

B. 1.5

Read Explanation:

down stream = 18/4 = 9/2km/hr

upstream = 18/12 = 3/2

Speed of stream = Rate down stream-Rate upstream/2

=(9/2 - 3/2)/2

= 6/4

= 3/2 = 1.5 km/hr

The speed of a boat in still water is 12 km/h. If the boat covers a distance of 38 km upstream in 4 hours, then the speed of the stream (in km/h) is:
The speed of boat in still water 9 kmph and speed of stream is 3 kmph. Find the time taken by boat to cover 12 km upstream.
A boat is moving 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and moves 1 km in the direction of the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take the boat to go 5 km in stationary water?
Find the distance covered by the boat upstream if it travels for 2 hours. Speed of the stream is 7km/hr and that of boat is 57 km/hr?
A boat covers a distance of 30 km downstream in 2 hours while it take 6 hours to cover the same distance upstream. If the speed of the current is half of the speed of the boat then what is the speed of the boat in km per hour?
