Quantity – III) If the length of rectangle is twice of its breadth and 3 times more than the side of square and the difference between the side of square and length of rectangle is 15 cm then find the area of rectangle ? Correct Answer Quantity - I < Quantity – II > Quantity – III

Quantity - I)

Downstream speed = 16 kmph

Speed of stream = 4 kmph

Upstream speed = 12 - 4 = 8 kmph

Let the distance travelled = D kms

Time taken in downstream = T hours.

Time taken in upstream = T + 2 hours.

According to the question.

D/16 = T

D/8 = T + 2

On solving above equation we get,

T = 2 hours.

D = 32 kms.

Total distance covered = 32 × 2 = 64 kms

Quantity - II)

When the distance is same.

                                         Downstream                   :                       Upstream

Time                                    10                                :                            16

Speed                                   8x                               :                            5x

Let the speed of Boat in still water = (u) kmph

Let the speed of stream = (v) kmph

u + v = 8x      ----(1)

u - v = 5x      ----(2)

Solving eq(1) and eq(2)

u = 13/2

v = 3/2

Percentage = (u/v) × 100

Percentage = (13/3) × 100 = 433.3%

Quantity III

Side : length : breadth = 1x : 4x : 2x      ----(1)

Difference = 3x

Actual difference = 15 cm

3x = 15 cm

x = 5 cm

Area of rectangle = (2x) X (4x)

Area of rectangle = 200 cm2

Quantity - I < Quantity – II > Quantity – III

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?
The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to the answer the question. What is the Speed of the stream? Statement I: The distance between two points A and B is a km and the boat cover 90km along the stream in 5 hours. Statement II: The distance travelled along the stream is four times the total distance and that against the stream is three times the total distance Statement III: The total time taken against the stream is 10% more than that along the stream

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.
The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to the answer the question. Find the distance after which the speed of the of the stream changes. Statement I: A man rowing a boat in downstream and the speed of the boat in still water is four times the speed of the stream. Statement II: The speed of the stream is 2 kmph which is increased by 2 kmph after travelling some distance thereby reaching the destination earlier by 5 minutes. Statement III: Total distance covered by the boat is 25 km in downstream.
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)
If the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel D km each upstream and X2 to travel downstream is 4 hours and the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel downstream and X2 to travel upstream the same distance D km each is 12 hours. Time taken by X2 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t1 hours. Similarly, the time taken by X1 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t2 hours. What is the value of (t1 - t2)?
