A boatman rows 30 km downstream and 18 km upstream, taking 3 hours for each leg of the journey. Find the speed of the boat in still water. MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A person walks from his home to his shop at a speed of 5 km/h and arrives 6 minutes early. If he walks at 4 km/h, he arrives 6 minutes late. Find the distance between his home and shop.
Explanation:
New speed = 3/4 of normal speed => New time = 4/3 of normal time. Difference = 1/3 of normal time = 10 minutes. Normal time = 10 * 3 = 30 minutes.
Explanation:
New speed = 5/6 of usual speed => New time = 6/5 of usual time. Difference = 1/5 of usual time = 15 minutes. Usual time = 15 * 5 = 75 minutes.
