A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 3 km/h, find the distance covered by the boat downstream in 20 minutes. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A boat can row 15 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 3 km/h, find the distance covered by the boat downstream in 20 minutes.
A. 5 km
B. 7 km
C. 6 km
D. 8 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Downstream speed = 15 + 3 = 18 km/h. Time = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hour. Distance covered = Speed * Time = 18 * (1/3) = 6 km.

Question #3 Report Error
A man rows downstream 40 km in 4 hours and upstream 24 km in 4 hours. What is the speed of the stream?
A. 3 km/h
B. 4 km/h
C. 1 km/h
D. 2 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 40 / 4 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed of stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (10 - 6) / 2 = 2 km/h.
