A boat crew rows 32 km downstream in 2 hours and handles 16 km upstream in 2 hours flat. Find the speed index of the stream current flow. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boat crew rows 32 km downstream in 2 hours and handles 16 km upstream in 2 hours flat. Find the speed index of the stream current flow.
A. 4.5 km/h
B. 3.5 km/h
C. 5.0 km/h
D. 4.0 km/h
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Downstream speed = 32 / 2 = 16 km/h. Upstream speed = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h. Speed of current stream flow = (16 - 8) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4 km/h.

Question #1
A driver covers 30% of his total route at 30 km/h and the remaining 70% at 42 km/h. What is his average speed for the full trip?
A. 36 km/h
B. 38 km/h
C. 40 km/h
D. 37.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let total distance be 100 km. First section = 30 km; Time = 30 / 30 = 1 hour. Second section = 70 km; Time = 70 / 42 = 5/3 hours. Total time = 1 + 5/3 = 8/3 hours. Average speed = 100 / (8/3) = 300 / 8 = 37.5 km/h.

Question #2
Excluding stoppages, the speed of a regional transit bus is 48 km/h and including stoppages it is 40 km/h. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour?
A. 15 minutes
B. 12 minutes
C. 10 minutes
D. 8 minutes

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (48 - 40) / 48 = 8 / 48 = 1/6 hour. In minutes = (1/6) * 60 = 10 minutes.

Question #3
A train 150 meters long completely passes a station pole sign in 6 seconds flat. Find its speed in km/h.
A. 100 km/h
B. 80 km/h
C. 110 km/h
D. 90 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 150 / 6 = 25 m/s. Converting to km/h = 25 * (18/5) = 90 km/h.
