Boat and Stream Questions for Competitive Exams

The speed of the current is 5 km / hour. A motorboat goes 10 km upstream and back again to the starting point in 50 minutes. The speed (in km / hour) of the motorboat in still water is: 

The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr. It covers (upstream) a distance of 45 km in 6 hours. The speed (in km/hr) of the stream is : 

A motorboat can travel at 10 km/hr. in still water it travelled 91 km downstream in a river and then returned taking at together 20 hours. Find the rate of flow of the river 

A boat travels 24 km upstream in 6 hours and 20 km downstream in 4 hours. Then the speed of boat in still water and the speed of current are respectively. 

A boat goes 12 km downstream and comes back to the starting point in 3 hours. If the speed of the current is 3 km/hr, then the speed (in km/hr) of the boat in still water is : 

A boat goes 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hours. In 13 hours, it can go 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream. The speed of the boat in still water is. 

A boat running downstreams covers a distance of 30 kms in 2 hours. While coming back the boat takes 6 hours to cover the same distance. If the speed  of the current is half that of the boat, what is the speed of that boat in kmph?

A motorboat covers a certain distance downstream in a river in 3 hours. It covers the same distance upstream in 3 and half an hour. If the speed of the water is 1.5 km / h, then the speed of the boat in still water is: 

A boat takes half time in moving a certain distance downstream than upstream. what is the ratio between the rate in still water and the rate of current?
