Which parameters are considered by a boat autopilot during critical weather conditions? Correct Answer Weight, speed and wind conditions

Autopilots have a large number of parameters which are taken in accounts such as weight and speed of the boat and sea conditions. Apparent wind and true wind react differently depending on the speed of the boat. Directions and Position are controlled by the GPS system and Compass respectively. Steering control is achieved through a remote control system.

What is the distance covered by boat N upstream in 5 hours? Which of the following option is sufficient alone to find the answer? A) Boat M is travelling downstream with 20% more downstream speed of boat N. Speed of boat M in still water is 10% more than the speed of boat N in still water. B) Boat M and Boat N are travelling downstream with speed 33 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively and speed of boat M is still water is 2 times the speed of stream. C) Speed of boat M in still water is 6 km/hr less then speed of boat N in still water and speed of stream is 10 km/hr. D) Speed of stream is ½ times the speed of boat N in still water and downstream speed of boat M is 44 km/hr. E) Speed of stream is 10 km/hr and ratio of upstream speed of boat M and boat N is 3 : 2 respectively.
Five boats took part in a race. Boat R finished before Boat M but behind Boat G. Boat A finished before Boat S but behind Boat M. Which boat came fourth in the race?
Ratio between speed of boat P and Q in still water is 8∶6 and speed of current is 8 km/hr. Boat Q starts from A in the downstream,2 hours earlier than Boat P and it is found that Boat P is 32 km ahead of boat Q after 16 hours of its start. If boat P starts from point B in down steam at the same time and distance between A and B is 216 km, then find at what time boat P and Q meet each other.
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?
Two boats go downstream from point X to Y. The faster boat covers the distance from X to Y, 1.5 times as fast as slower boat. It is known that for every hour slower boat lags behinds the faster boat by 8 km. however, if they go upstream, then the faster boat covers the distance from Y to X in half the time as the slower boat. Find the speed of the faster boat in still water?
A boat goes to upstream in a river at the speed of 18 km/hr. The speed of stream is 3 km/hr. A leakage is found in the base of boat which can drown the boat in 3 hours and a pipe is connected with boat can empty the whole water of boat in 6 hours. Find the distance cover by boat before it drowns.
Questions below followed by two quantities. Find the relation between them. The table shows the distance travelled by five different boats upstream, the speed of the boat in still water and the time taken by them to cover the upstream distance. Boats Upstream distance Speed of boat Time taken  A  240 km  15 km/hr  20 hr  B  150 km  10 km/hr  25 hr  C  350 km  20 km/hr  50 hr  D  96 km  8 km/hr  16 hr  E  126 km  26 km/hr  9 hr   Quantity I: Boat B travel 238 km distance downstream in certain time. How much downstream distance boat D will cover at the same time? Quantity II: Boat E travel 722 km distance downstream in certain time. How much downstream distance boat A will cover at the same time?
The ratio of the speed of boat A, boat B and stream is 15 : 14 : 10, If the difference between the speed of boat A and boat B is 2 kmph, then what is the difference between time taken by boat A to cover 150 km along the stream and the time taken by boat B to cover 120 km against stream?
The speed of Boat P is 3 km/h more than the speed of Boat Q. The time taken by Boat Q to travel a distance of 30 km downstream is 30 minutes more than the time taken by Boat P to travel the same distance downstream. If the speed of the current is 1/3 of the speed of Boat Q, then what is the speed of Boat P?
In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet. S1 : We drink more water during summers. S6 : There are variations in weather conditions during different seasons. P : On the other hand in north-eastern states, winters are mild except in the hills. Q : Because in North India, both the sessions have extreme weather conditions. R : School clothes during the summer are different from the winter. S : Why do you wear lighter clothes during summers and heavy woollen clothes during the winter in north India? The correct sequence should be:
