• ক. 10
• খ. 12
• গ. 6
• ঘ. 4

Speed of the boat in standing water is 6 km/h and the speed of the stream is 2 km/h. What will be the total time if a man goes by the boat upstream 32 km and comes back to the starting point?

A man can row upstream at 10 km/h and downstream at 16 km/h. His rate in still water is---

• ক. 12
• খ. 26
• গ. 13
• ঘ. 6

A ferry can travel twice as fast when empty as when it is full. It travels 20 miles with full load, spends 1 hours for unloading & returns to its original port empty. It took 11 hours to complete the journey. What is the speed when the ferry is empty?

• ক. 5
• খ. 4.5
• গ. 4

The velocity of a boat rowed downstream is three times that of the same boat rowed upstream. If the speed of the stream is 2.5 miles per hour what is the speed of rowing in miles/hr?

• ক. 5
• খ. 3
• গ. 2
• ঘ. 6

A man rowing in favour of current can go 80 km in 10 hrs and he can go the same distance in 40 hrs against the current. What is the speed of the current per hour?

• ক. 3 km
• খ. 4 km
• গ. 5 km
• ঘ. 10 km

A man can cross 10 miles distance of a river in favor of the stream in 2 hours. He can come back against the stream along the same way in 5 hours. What is the average speed, in miles per hour, for the entire trip?

• ক. 20/7
• খ. 10/7
• গ. 7/10
• ঘ. 7/20

A boat sailing against a stream of river takes 6 hours to travel 24 kms, while sailing with the stream it takes 4 hours to travel the same distance. What is the speed of the stream?

• ক. 1/2 km/hr
• খ. 1 km/hr
• গ. 2 km/hr
• ঘ. 1.5 km/hr

• ক. 2.5 km/hr
• খ. 5 km/hr
• গ. 7.5 km/hr
• ঘ. 15 km/hr

In a stream running at 2 km/hr, a motor boat goes 10 km upstream and back again to the starting point in 55 minutes. Find the speed of the motor boat in the still water.

• ক. 6 km/hr
• খ. 5.5 m/hr
• গ. 6.45 km/hr

• খ. 5 hours
• গ. 10 hours
• ঘ. 20 hours
