Q1
:
A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
A
1 km/hr
B
2.5 km/hr
C
2 km/hr
D
1.5 km/hr
Solution
ANS:
A
- 1 km/hr
Suppose he move 4 km downstream in
x
hours. Then,
Speed downstream =
4
km/hr.
x
Speed upstream =
3
km/hr.
x
48
+
48
= 14 or
x
=
1
.
(4/
x
)
(3/
x
)
2
So, Speed downstream = 8 km/hr, Speed upstream = 6 km/hr.
Rate of the stream =
1
(8 - 6) km/hr = 1 km/hr.
