A motorboat rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical route upstream back to the jetty point in 4 hours. Find the net speed index of the current stream flow. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A motorboat rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical route upstream back to the jetty point in 4 hours. Find the net speed index of the current stream flow.
A. 1.5 km/h
B. 1.0 km/h
C. 1.2 km/h
D. 0.8 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed of current stream flow = (8 - 6) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1.0 km/h.

A train 140 meters long tracking at 63 km/h passes a modern bridge in 24 seconds. Find the length of the bridge.
A. 320 meters
B. 260 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 280 meters

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of train = 63 * (5/18) = 17.5 m/s. Total distance handled in 24 seconds = 17.5 * 24 = 420 meters. Length of the bridge = 420 - 140 = 280 meters.

A. 8 km/h
B. 11 km/h
C. 9 km/h
D. 10 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 24 / 2 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 12 / 2 = 6 km/h. Speed in still water = (12 + 6) / 2 = 9 km/h.
