Answer : 4. "8:3"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 8:3 Explanation: Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs Time for downstream = 4 hrs Distance in both the cases is same. => p x 845= q x 4 => 44p/5 = 4q => q = 11p/5 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current = q+p2:q-p2 => (11p/5 + p)/2 : (11p/5 - p)/2 => 8 : 3
Q: 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.

Q: A man went downstream for 28 km in a motor boat and immediately returned. It took the man twice as long to make the return trip. If the speed of the river flow were twice as high, the trip downstream and back would take 672 minutes. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the river flow. 52727 05b5cc672e4d2b4197774c0c8

Answer : 2. "9 km/hr, 3 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr Explanation: Let the speed of the boat = p kmph Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph From the given data, 2 x 28p + q = 28p - q => 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0 => 28p = 84q => p = 3q. Now, given that if 283q + 2q + 283q - 2q = 67260=> 285q + 28q = 67260=> q = 3 kmph=> x =3q = 9 kmph Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph.
Q: 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?
