Let the speed of stream be V km/hr and speed of boat in still water be U km/hr. Upstream speed = (U – V) km/hr Downstream speed = (U + V) km/hr Distance covered upstream in 3 hours = Distance covered downstream in 2 hours ⇒ 3(U – V) = 2(U + V) ⇒ 3U – 3V = 2U + 2V ⇒ U = 5V ⇒ U/V = 5 : 1 ∴ Ratio of speed of boat in still water to speed of stream is 5:1.Related questions
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:Speed of a boat in standing water is 9 kmph and the speed of the stream is 5 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 105 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1/10 km and 9 km respectively. The time taken by slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is -A man can row three-quarters of a kilometre against the stream in 11×(1/4) minutes and down the stream in 7×(1/2) minutes. The speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water is:In a 300 m race A beats B by 5 metre or 6 seconds. B's time over the course is -A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water?A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour, while it comes back in 1x(1/2) hours.
