In one hour, a boat goes 13 km/hr in the direction of the stream and 7 km/hr against the direction of the stream. What will be the speed of the boat in still water?

A8 km/hr

B10 km/hr

C14 km/hr

D6 km/hr

Answer:

B. 10 km/hr

Read Explanation:

Speed of a boat in still water = ½ (DownstreamSpeed + UpstreamSpeed) Speed of boat in still water = ½ (13+7) = ½ × 20 = 10 km/hr

A boat travels 24 km upstream in 6 hours and 20 km downstream in 4 hours Then the speed of boat in still water and the speed of current water are respectively:
A boat running downstream covers a distance of 8.4 km in 12 minutes. If the same boat at same speed and same distance require 15 minutes for upstream, then find the speed of the stream.
A boy can swim in still water at a speed of 10 km/hr. If the speed of the current would have been 5 kmph, then the boy could swim 60km
The speeds of two boats A and B in still water are 25 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively. The boats are 165 km apart. If both begins moving toward each other, A going downstream while B upstream, then in how many hours they will meet?
If time upstream = n × time downstream and speed in still water is 'x' and speed of stream is 'y', then find x : y.
