• 1] 30 km
• 2] 24 km
• 3] 20 km
• 4] 32 km

A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat (in still water) and the stream is:

• 1] 2 : 1
• 2] 3 : 1
• 3] 3 : 2
• 4] 4 : 3

A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour, while it comes back in \(1\frac{1}{2}\) hours. If the speed of the stream be 3 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in still water?

• 1] 12 kmph
• 2] 13 kmph
• 3] 14 kmph
• 4] 15 kmph
• 5] None of these

The speed of the boat in still water is 5 times that of current, it takes 1.1 hour to row to point B from point A downstream. The distance between point A and point B is 13.2 km. How much distance (in km) will it cover in 312 minutes upstrem?

• 1] 43.2
• 2] 48
• 3] 41.6
• 4] 44.8
