    The document contains 18 multiple choice questions about boats traveling upstream and downstream in rivers at various speeds, and calculating the speed of the river current based on the boat speeds and travel times. Specifically, it asks about determining current speed given distances traveled by boats in certain times, calculating boat speed in still water given times traveled with and against currents of known speeds, and computing water flow rates into the sea based on river width, depth and current speed.

    speed of the stream is :
    a) 3 kmph b) 6 kmph c) 10kmph d)12 kmph
    2. A boat covers 12KM upstream and 18KM downstream in 3hr, while it covers 36KM
    upstream and 24KM downstream in 6 1/2hr. What is the speed of the current?
    a) 1.5 km/hr b)1 km/hr c) 2 km/hr d) 2.5 km/hr
    3. 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 60 km:
    a) Upstream in 4hr
    b) Downstream in 12hr
    c) Upstream in 6hr
    d) Downstream in 4hr
    4. A swimmer swims from a point A against a current for 5 minutes and then swims backwards
    in favour of the current for next 5 minutes and comes to point B. If AB is 100 metres, the
    speed of the current (in kmph) is:
    a) 0.4 b) 0.2 c) 1 d) 0.6
    5. The speed of the current is 5kmph. A motorboat goes 10 km upstream and back again to the
    starting point in 50 minutes. The speed (in kmph) of the motorboat in still water is :
    a) 20 b) 26 c) 25 d) 28
    6. In a fixed time a boy swims double the distance along the current that he swims against the
    current. If the speed of the current is 3 kmph, the speed of the boy in still water is :
    a) 6 kmph b)9 kmph c) 10 kmph d) 12 kmph
    7. A man can row at a speed of 4.5 kmph in still water. If he takes 2 times as long to row a
    distance upstream as to row the same in downstream then, the speed of stream (in kmph) is :
    a) 1 b) 1.5 c) 2 d) 2.5
    8. The speed of a boat in still water is 6 kmph and the speed of the stream is 1.5 kmph. A man
    rows to a place at a distance of 22.5 km and come back to the starting point. The total time
    taken by him is :
    a) 10 hr b) 4 hr 10 min c)6 hr 10 min d)8 hr
    9. The speed of a motor boat to that of the current of water is 36:5. The boat goes along the
    current in 5hr 10min. it will come back in:
    a) 5 hr 50min b) 6 hr c) 6 hr 50 min d) 12 hr 50min
    10. The speed of a motor boat in still water is 45 kmph. If the motor boat travels 80 km along
    the stream in 1 hr 20 min, then the time taken by it to cover the same distance against the
    steam will be :
    a) 3hr b) 1 hr 20 min c) 2hr 40 min d) 2 hr 55 min
    11. A boat goes 40 km upstream in 8hr and 36 km downstream in 6 hr. The speed of the boat in

    12. A motor boat in still water travels at a speed of 36 kmph in 1 hr 45 min. The time taken by it
    to cover the same distance down the stream will be :
    a) 2 hr 25 min b) 3hr c) 1 hr 24 min d) 2 hr 21 min
    13. Two boats A and B start towards each other from two places, 108 km apart. Speed of boat A
    and B in still water are 12 kmph and 15 kmph respectively. If A proceeds down and B up the
    stream, they will meet after:
    a) 4.5 hr b) 4 hr c) 5.4 hr d) 6 hr
    14. A person can row 7.5 km an hour in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to
    row down the river. The speed of the stream is :
    a) 2 kmph b) 3 kmph c) 2.5 kmph d)3.5 kmph
    15. A man rows to a place 35 km in distance and back in 10 hr 30 min. He found that he can row
    5 km with the stream in the same time as he can row 4 km against the stream. Find the rate of
    flow of the stream :
    a) 1 kmph b) 0.75 kmph c) 1.33 kmph d) 1.5 kmph
    16. A motor boat covers a certain distance downstream in a river in 3 hr. It covers the same
    distance upstream in 3hrand half. If the speed of the water is 1.5 kmph, then the speed of the

    respectively?
