A person row a boat 16 km upstream in 4 hours. If the speed of the current is 1 km/h, find the speed of the boat in still water. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A person row a boat 16 km upstream in 4 hours. If the speed of the current is 1 km/h, find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 4 km/h
B. 7 km/h
C. 5 km/h
D. 6 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Upstream speed = 16 / 4 = 4 km/h. Upstream Speed = Speed in still water - Current speed => 4 = Speed in still water - 1 => Speed in still water = 5 km/h.

Question #3
A man rows upstream 13 km and downstream 28 km, taking 5 hours each time. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 2.5 km/h

D. 3 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Upstream speed = 13 / 5 = 2.6 km/h. Downstream speed = 28 / 5 = 5.6 km/h. Speed of stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (5.6 - 2.6) / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 km/h.
