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 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? Correct Answer 12

Given:

Ratio of speed of boat A, boat B and stream = 15 : 14 : 10

Speed of boat A – Speed of boat B = 2 kmph

Concept used:

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculation:

Difference of boat A and boat B = 15 – 14 = 1

1 unit equal to 2 kmph

So, speed of boat A is 30 kmph

speed of boat B is 28 kmph

speed of stream is 20 kmph

Time taken by boat A =

⇒ 150/50

⇒ 3 hours

Time taken by boat B =

⇒ 120/8

⇒ 15 hours

Diffrence between time taken by boat A and boat B

⇒ 15 – 3

⇒ 12 hours

∴ The difference between time taken by boat A and boat B is 12 hours.

E) Speed of stream is 10 km/hr and ratio of upstream speed of boat M and boat N is 3 : 2 respectively.
Study the following questions carefully and answer accordingly. Quantity - I) If the time taken by a boat to cover the same distance in upstream is 2 hours more than downstream. The downstream speed of the boat and the speed of current is 16 kmph and 4 kmph then find the total distance travelled by the boat? Quantity - II) If the time taken by the boat in upstream and in downstream is 16 hours and 10 hours to cover the same distance. Then find the speed of boat in still water is how much percent of the speed of stream? 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 ?
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?

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
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: Superman and Batman in their boat are moving towards each other If Superman travel against the stream and Batman along the stream they are at a distance of 2300 km from each other. If the Speed of Stream is 20 km/h and Speed of Superman’s Boat is 100 km/h and Speed of Batman’s Boat is 130 km/h. Find the Time Taken to meet each other Quantity B: Tony Stark is flying in his suit 1 hour before Captain America with the speed of 200 km/h.

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?
A motorboat cover 105 Km in 7 hr along the stream. Due to some technical problem, the time taken to cover the same distance against the stream is three times the time taken to cover the same distance in downstream. By what percent did the speed of the boat in still water reduces if the speed of the stream is 3km/hr?
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.
