A boatman wants to cross a river which distance is 80 km. In the starting boatman goes to 20 km and then turn 90 degree anti-clock wise and goes 60 km in upstream after that he turn 90 degree clock wise and goes 40 km. After that he turn 90 degree clock wise and goes 60 km. In the end he turn 90 degree anti-clock wise and goes 20 km and reach his destination. The speed of boatman is 22 km/hr and speed of stream is 4 km/hr. Find the time to cover total distance?

Relative speed of boat in upstream = 22 – 4 = 18 km/hr

Relative speed of boat in downstream = 22 + 4 = 26 km/hr

Time taken by boat to cover 60 km in upstream = 60/18 = 3.33 hours

Time taken by boat to cover 60 km in downstream = 60/26 = 2.30 hours

Distance covered by boat = 20 + 40 + 20 = 80 km

Time taken by boat to cover 80 km = 80/22 = 3.63

Total time = 3.33 + 2.30 + 3.63 = 9.26 hours

∴ The boatman takes 9.26 hours to covers total distance.

A boatman rows down the stream for 1 hour and covers a distance of 4 kilometres. The boatman takes rest for 1 hour after every 2 hours of rowing. The boatman rows from Ramkrishnapur to Babughat and comes back. The distance between the two places is 12 kilometres. If the boatman charges Rs 100 every time it goes from one place to the other after completing the trip, find his daily income if he works for 15 hours daily. Speed of the stream is 1 km\hr. His 1st trip is from Ramkrishnapur to Babughat which is down the stream.
In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve for the both quantities and chose the correct option. Quantity A: The ratio of speed of boat to speed of stream is 2 : 1, If the boat travels 162 km and come back to starting point in 36 hour. What is the difference between the time taken by the boat to go upstream and the time taken by the boat to go downstream? Quantity B: The speed of the stream is 6 km/hr and the distance travelled by the boat is 60 km. If the boat covered half distance upstream with usual speed and other half with double its speed, then it takes 7.5 hours less time than usual time to go upstream. Find the total time taken by the boat to go upstream and downstream?

Given below are three quantities named 1, 2 and 3. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the three quantities. You should use the given data and knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answer. Quantity 1: Manish can row at a speed of 4.5 km/h in still water and rows to a certain upstream point and back to the starting point in a river which flows at 1.5 km/hr. Find his average speed for total journey. Quantity 2: A man can row 6 km/h in still water. It takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of stream. Quantity 3: The rate of flow of river water is 4 km/h. A boat goes up 6 km and back to the starting point in 2 hour. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
In river A, the distance travelled by a boat downstream in time T is 50% more than the distance travelled by the same boat upstream in the same time. In river B, the same boat travels a distance of 11 km upstream in 30 minutes. If the speed of the current in river B is 2 km/h, what is the speed of the stream in river A? (The speed of the boat in still water is same in both the rivers)
In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Saurav can row a boat 40 km upstream in 8 hours. If speed of Saurav’s boat is 7 km/h. Find how much Saurav can row downstream in 9 hours. Quantity B: Vaibhav’s boat travelled 100 km in 10 hours in still water. If total time taken by Vaibhav to reach the distance is 8 hours for first half of time he goes against the stream and for remaining half along with the stream. Find the distance travelled, if speed of stream is 2 km/h.
