LET’S PRACTICE

A boat travels a distance of 36 km downstream and returns to its starting point in a total of 10 hrs. If
the speed of the stream is tripled, time taken for the round trip will be 15 hrs. Find the time taken by
log to float this distance?

A boat takes a total of 11 hours to travel 12 km downstream and 18 km upstream. The same boat takes
a total of 9 hours to travel 18 km downstream and 12 km upstream . Find the speed of the boat in still
water?

Two boats traveling at 5 and 10 kmph, head directly towards each other. They began at a distance of 20
kms from each other. How far apart are they (in kms) one min before they collide?

A boat started traveling downstream from a point A on a river. After it has travelled for 12 kms, a log
started floating from A, boat continues to travel for 2 more hours in the same direction then turns
around and meets the log at a point 12 km from A. If the speed of the boat is thrice that of the stream.
Find the speed of the stream?

Two boats are rowing towards each other in a stream. One is going downstream from A to B and the
other is going upstream from point B to A. If their speed in still water is 12m/s and 8 m/s, and the
distance between points is 2 km, how long will it take them to meet?

At his usual rowing rate, Rahul can travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in six hours less than it takes him
to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for this 24 miles round trip, the
downstream 12 miles would then take only one hour less than the upstream 12 miles. What is the speed of current
in miles per hour?

In a race of 500 mts, A gives B a start of 100 mts and both reach finishing point simultaneously. Had A
and B started simultaneously, with B from the starting point and A from 100 mts behind the starting
point, who would reach the finishing point first and how many mts ahead of the other?

Being very confident of winning the 200 m racing competition, Raj started some distance behind the
starting point. He finishes race in 18 secs. He was exactly at the mid point of 200 m track 10 secs after
the start. How far behind the starting point did Raj start from?
