Question #1 Report Error
A man rows downstream 48 km in 4 hours and upstream 24 km in 4 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
A. 10 km/h
B. 8 km/h
C. 9 km/h
D. 12 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 48 / 4 = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed in still water = (Downstream speed + Upstream speed) / 2 = (12 + 6) / 2 = 9 km/h.

Question #2 Report Error
A man can row 8 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 2 km/h, it takes him 3.2 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
A. 10 km
B. 14 km
C. 12 km
D. 15 km

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 8 + 2 = 10 km/h. Upstream speed = 8 - 2 = 6 km/h. Let distance be d. d / 10 + d / 6 = 3.2 => 16d / 60 = 3.2 => 16d = 192 => d = 12 km.
