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. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

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. 4.5 km/h
B. 3.5 km/h
C. 4.0 km/h
D. 5.0 km/h
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
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 #1 Report Error
A car runs at 50 km/h for 3 hours and then tracks at 70 km/h for the next 2 hours. Find the average speed across the whole route.
A. 62 km/h
B. 56 km/h
C. 60 km/h
D. 58 km/h

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Distance 1 = 50 * 3 = 150 km. Distance 2 = 70 * 2 = 140 km. Total distance = 290 km. Total time = 5 hours. Average speed = 290 / 5 = 58 km/h.

Question #3 Report Error
A train 110 meters long is traveling at 60 km/h. How much time will it take to pass a platform 240 meters long?
A. 18 seconds
B. 21 seconds
C. 24 seconds
D. 27 seconds

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Total distance = 110 + 240 = 350 meters. Speed = 60 * (5/18) = 50/3 m/s. Time = 350 / (50/3) = 350 * 3 / 50 = 7 * 3 = 21 seconds.
