A boat takes 12 hours to cover 64 km downstream and 8 hours to cover 32 km upstream. Then the speed of the boat in still water is
  1. ক) 14/3 km/hr
  2. খ) 3/2 km/hr
  3. গ) 6/5 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 8/7 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) 14/3 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) 14/3 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Distance covered downstream = 64 km
Time is taken in downstream = 12 hours.
Rate of downstream = distance/time = a = 64 km/12 hours
= 16/3 km/hr.
Distance covered in upstream = 32km
Time is taken upstream = 8 hours.
Rate of upstream = distance/time = b = 32km/8 hours
= 4 km/hr.
Speed in still water = (a + b)/2 = (1/2){(16/3) + 4} km/hr
= (1/2)(28/3)
= 14/3 km/hr.

A man can row 7.5 kmph in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream.
  1. ক) 10 km/hr.
  2. খ) 7 km/hr
  3. গ) 5 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 2.5 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 2.5 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 2.5 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Given that, time is taken to travel upstream = 2 × times taken to travel downstream
When the distance is constant, speed is inversely proportional to the time
Hence, 2 × speed upstream = speed downstream
Let speed upstream = x
Then speed downstream 2x
we have,
1/2(x + 2x) = speed in still water
⇒ 1/2(3x)=7.5
⇒ 3x = 15
⇒ x = 5
i.e., speed upstream = 5 km/hr
Rate of stream = 1/2(2x - x)
= x/2
= 5/2
= 2.5 km/hr.

.
A boat moves downstream at the rate of one km in 5 minutes and upstream at the rate of 4 km an hour. What is the velocity of the current?
  1. ক) 2 km/hr
  2. খ) 4 km/hr
  3. গ) 1 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 3 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) 4 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) 4 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Speed downstream = 1/(5/60)
= 60/5
= 12 km/hr
Speed upstream = 4/1
= 4 km/hr
velocity of the current = 1/2(12 - 4)
= (1/2) × 8
= 4 km/hr.

.
The current of a stream runs at the rate of 2 km per hr. A motorboat goes 10 km upstream and back again to the starting point in 55 min. Find the speed of the motorboat -
  1. ক) 16 km/hr
  2. খ) 20 km/hr
  3. গ) 12 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 22 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 22 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 22 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the speed of the boat in still water=x km/hr
Speed of the current = 2 km/hr
Then, speed downstream = (x + 2) km/hr
speed upstream = (x - 2) km/hr
Total time taken to travel 10 km upstream and back = 55 minutes
= (55/60) hr
= 11/12 hr.
According to question,
10/(x - 2) + 10/(x + 2) = 11/12
⇒ 120(x+2)+120(x−2) = 11(x2 - 4)
⇒ 240x = 11x2 - 44
⇒ 11x2 - 240x - 44 = 0
⇒ 11x(x -22) + 2(x - 22) = 0
⇒ (x -22) (11x + 2) = 0
Since x cannot be negative.
So, x = 22 km/hr.
Hence, the Speed of the motorboat is 22 km/hr.

.
A train, 800meter long is running with a speed of 78 km/hr. It crosses a tunnel in 1 minute. What is the length of the tunnel (in meters)?
  1. ক) 440 meter
  2. খ) 260 meter
  3. গ) 500 meter
  4. ঘ) 430 meter
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) 500 meter
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) 500 meter
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the length of the tunnel = x meter
Then, distance = (800 + x) meter.
Time = 1 minute = 60 seconds.
Speed = 78 km/hr
= 78 × (5/18)
= (65/3) m/s
According to the question,
800 + x = 60 × (65/3)
⇒ 800 + x = 1300
⇒ x = 500 meter.

Two trains each 500 meter long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. If their speeds are 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively, the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one is -
  1. ক) 50 seconds
  2. খ) 58 seconds
  3. গ) 22 seconds
  4. ঘ) 24 seconds
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 24 seconds
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 24 seconds
ব্যাখ্যা

Relative speed = (45 + 30) km/hr.
= 75 km/hr.
= 75 × (5/18) km/hr.
= (125/6) m/s.
We are calculating the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one.
Hence, distance = length of the slower train = 500 meter.
Time = 500/(125/6)
= 500 × (6/125)
= 24 seconds.

.
Two trains are running in opposite directions at the same speed. The length of each train is 120 meter. If they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is -
  1. ক) 42 km/hr
  2. খ) 36 km/hr
  3. গ) 28 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 20 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) 36 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
খ) 36 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Distance covered = (120 + 120)
= 240 meter.
Time = 12 seconds.
Relative speed = 240/12
= 20 m/s.
= 20 × (18/5) km/hr.
= 72 km/hr.
The relative speed, in this case, is the sum of the speeds of the trains and each train has the same speed,
speed as each train = 72/2 km/hr.
= 36 km/hr.

.
A train 108 meter long is moving at a speed of 50 km/hr. It crosses a train 112 meter long coming from the opposite direction in 6 seconds. What is the speed of the second train?
  1. ক) 82 kmph
  2. খ) 58 kmph
  3. গ) 44 kmph
  4. ঘ) 76 kmph
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) 82 kmph
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) 82 kmph
ব্যাখ্যা

Distance covered = (108 + 112)
= 220 meter.
Time = 6 seconds.
Relative speed = 220/6 = 110/3 m/s.
= (110/3) × (18/5) km/hr
= 132 km/hr.
50 + Speed of second train = 132 km/hr.
Speed of second train = (132 - 50)
= 82 km/hr.

.
A train, having a length of 110 meter is running at a speed of 60 kmph. In what time, it will pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that of the train -
  1. ক) 8 seconds
  2. খ) 4 seconds
  3. গ) 10 seconds
  4. ঘ) 6 seconds
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 6 seconds
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 6 seconds
ব্যাখ্যা

Distance = 110 meter.
Since the train and man move in opposite directions, the relative speed
= (60 + 6) km/hr.
= 66 km/hr.
= 66 × (5/18) m/s.
= 110/6 m/s.
Time = 110/(110/6)
= 6 seconds.

If a man's rate with the current is 15 km/hr and the rate of the current is 1(1/2) km/hr, then his rate against the current is -
  1. ক) 12.5 km/hr
  2. খ) 10 km/hr
  3. গ) 12 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 10.5 km/hr
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) 12 km/hr
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) 12 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Speed downstream = 15 km/hr
Rate of the current = 1(1/2) km/hr.
Speed in still water = {15 - 1(1/2)}
= 13(1/2) km/hr.
Rate against the current = {13(1/2) - 1(1/2)} km/hr
= 12 km/hr.

উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
ক) 24 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Speed upstream = 8/(24/60)
= 20 km/hr.
Speed of the stream = 4 km/hr.
Speed of boat in still water = (20 + 4)
= 24 km/hr.

Distance covered in 26 seconds.
= 26 × 72 × (5/18)

সঠিক উত্তর:
ঘ) 50 meter
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the speed of the train be v km/hr.
(v - 2) : (v - 4) = 10 : 9 [speed and time are inversely proportional]
⇒ 9v - 18 = 10v - 40
⇒ v = 22 km/hr.
Length of the train
= (22 - 2) × (5/18) × 9
= 50 meter.

Speed of the first train = 48 km/hr.
Let the length of the first train = 2x meter.
Speed of the second train = 42 km/hr.
Let the length of the second train = x meter.
Distance = (2x + x) = 3x meter.
Time = 12 seconds
Relative speed = 48 + 42 = 90 km/hr.
= 90 × (5/18) = 25 m/s.
3x = 25 × 12
⇒ x = 100 meter.
Length of the first train = 200
Time is taken to cross the platform = 45 seconds.
Speed of first train = 48 km/hr
= 48 × (5/18)
= 40/3 m/s.
Let the length of the platform = y meter.
Distance = 200 + y meter.
⇒ 200 + y = 45 × (40/3)
⇒ 200 + y = 600
⇒ y = 400 meter.

Speed of the man in still water = 12 km/hr.
Speed of the stream = 3 km/hr.
Speed downstream = 12 + 3
= 15 km/hr.
Speed upstream = (12 - 3)
= 9 km/hr.
Average speed = (Speed downstream × Speed upstream)/Speed in still water
= (15 × 9)/12
= (15 × 3)/4
= 45/4
= 11(1/4) km/hr.

A boat takes 38 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to point C midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 kmph and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 kmph, what is the distance between A and B?
  1. ক) 180 km
  2. খ) 120 km
  3. গ) 360 km
  4. ঘ) 240 km
সঠিক উত্তর:

উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
গ) 360 km
ব্যাখ্যা

Velocity of the stream = 4 km/hr.
The speed of the boat in still water is 14 km/hr.
Speed downstream = 14 + 4 = 18 km/hr.
Speed upstream = 10 km/hr.
Let the distance between A and B be x km.
Time taken to travel downstream from A to B + Time taken to travel upstream from B to C(mid of A and B)
= 38 hours.
⇒ x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 38
⇒ x/18 + x/20 = 38
⇒ 19x/180 = 38
⇒ x/180 = 2
⇒ x = 360 km.
