QUANTITATIVE ABILITY HANDOUT
(Time and Distance ~ 11)
Ref: QAHO1002107
The speed of a boat is 14 kmph in stil water.
It travelled 187 km in a river, tumed around, and
returned to the starting point in 28 hours. Find the
speed ofthe river current.
‘A boat travels 63 km upstream in a river and returns
to its staring point. The time taken by the boat to
travel upstream is two hours more than the time
taken to travel downstream. The speed of the boat
in sil wator is 8 times the speed of the stream. Find
the speed of the stream
Karan rowed 60 km upstream in a river. If his speed
instil water were 3 kmph less and the speed of the
stream were 3 kmph more, he would have taken
9 moro hours to row tho same. Find his upstream
speed,
P and @ are two points along a river. Two boats
B, and B> started simultaneously from P and Q
towards Q and P respectively. if the cistance
botwoon thom reduces by 50 km in § hours and both
boats travel at the same speed in stl water, find the
speed of either boat in still water.
{Ath started from a point on a river in his sailboat
and rowed in the same direction as the wind. He
travelled 80 km in 6 hours and retuned to bis
starting point after 10 more hours of rowing against
the ‘wind.
{1 there were no wind, bow long would he have taken
for the entice trip?
‘Aun takes 20 seconds to climb up @ moving
‘escalator and 30 seconds to climb down the same,
How long would he take to climb down the escalator
‘whan it's stationary?
Bhim took 20 seconds to climb down a descending
escalator that had 140 steps. IFhis speed is doubled
and that of the escalator is quadrupled, he would
take 13 fewer seconds to climb down the same. Find
the time taken by him to climb up the descending
escalator.
Doran took 24 seconds to cimb up an ascending
escalator anc 40 seconds to climb down the same,
IW the escalator had 120 steps, find the time taken by
him to climb down the escalator when it is
stationary
