A boatman can row 12 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 2 km/h, find the time parameter required by the boat hull to row 40 km upstream. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boatman can row 12 km/h in still water. If the river velocity index tracks at 2 km/h, find the time parameter required by the boat hull to row 40 km upstream.
A. 4.5 hours
B. 3.5 hours
C. 4.0 hours
D. 5.0 hours
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Upstream speed = 12 - 2 = 10 km/h. Time required = Distance / Upstream Speed = 40 / 10 = 4 hours.

Question #1
A train passes a pedestrian standing on a platform in 6 seconds and passes the platform itself, which is 150 meters long, in 11 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/h.
A. 108 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 135 km/h
D. 120 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time taken to cross the platform alone = 11 - 6 = 5 seconds. Speed of train = 150 / 5 = 30 m/s. In km/h = 30 * (18/5) = 108 km/h.

Question #2
A motorboat covers 24 km downstream in 1.5 hours and covers the same distance upstream in 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 15 km/h
B. 12 km/h
C. 14 km/h
D. 10 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 1.5 = 16 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Speed in still water = (16 + 8) / 2 = 12 km/h.

Question #3
A sprinter tracks a 400-meter oval dash stretch in 44 seconds. Find his approximate pace in km/h.
A. 30.5 km/h
B. 36.0 km/h
C. 34.2 km/h
D. 32.7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed = 400 / 44 m/s = 100 / 11 m/s. In km/h = (100 / 11) * (18/5) = 360 / 11 = 32.72 km/h.
