Q:

A man can row against the current three fourth of a kilometer in 15 min and returns same distance in 10 min, then ratio of his speed to that of current?

A) 5:1 B) 3:1
C) 4:1 D) 2:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5:1

Explanation:

Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph

Speed of the current = s kmph

Now, according to the questions

(p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15

2p + 2s = 3p - 3s

=> p : s = 5 : 1

 

Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.

A) 4 hrs 10 min B) 3 hrs 15 min
C) 3 hrs 30 min D) 4 hrs 1 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3 hrs 30 min

Explanation:

Let the speed of boat and stream be x and y kmph respectively.

According to question

d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)

and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii)

2d/x+y = 7/2

Hence, Amith will take to row 2d km distance downstream in 7/2 hrs

= 3.5 hrs

= 3 hrs 30 min.
