Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 km/h and including stoppages, it is 45 km/h. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
A stream flows at 3 km/h. A boat can row 9 km/h in still water. How much time does it take to go 24 km downstream and return upstream to the starting point?
A person row a boat 12 km downstream in 1 hour. If the river current flows at 3 km/h, find the time taken by the boat to row the same distance upstream.
Explanation:
Downstream speed = 12 / 1 = 12 km/h. Baseline boat speed in still water = Downstream speed - Current speed = 12 - 3 = 9 km/h. Upstream speed = Still water speed - Current speed = 9 - 3 = 6 km/h. Time taken upstream = Distance / Upstream speed = 12 / 6 = 2 hours.
