Question #1
A swimmer can traverse 36 km downstream in 3 hours and covers 12 km upstream in 3 hours. Find the swimmer's baseline speed in still water.
A. 9 km/h
B. 8 km/h
C. 10 km/h
D. 7 km/h

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 36 / 3 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 12 / 3 = 4 km/h. Speed in still water = (12 + 4) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 km/h.

Question #2
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. 4.0 km/h
B. 3.5 km/h
C. 4.5 km/h
D. 5.0 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
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 #3
Two cars start from the same spot and travel along perpendicular roads. One travels at 15 km/h and the other at 20 km/h. Find the distance between them after 2 hours.
A. 50 km
B. 60 km
C. 55 km
D. 45 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In 2 hours, the first car travels 30 km and the second car travels 40 km. Direct distance = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.
