    Correct Answers:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    C D B D B D A B D E

    Explanations:
    1. Time taken by him in travelling = 19 hours 32 minutes – 20 minutes
    = 19 hours 12 minutes
    Let Distance = x km
    According to the question,
    x x 12
    + = 19
    60+15 60 – 15 60

    x x 96
    + =
    75 45 5

    5x + 3x 96
    =
    225 5

    8x 96
    =
    225 5
    x = 540 km
    Hence, option C is correct.

    2. 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
    Let the distance travelled be ‘d’ km
    Then
    total distance
    Average Speed =
    total time

    d+d
    =
    d d
    +
    15 9

    2d
    =
    9d + 15 d
    15 × 9

    2d × (15 × 9) 45 1
    = = km/hr= 11 km/hr
    24d 4 4
    Hence, option (D) is correct.
    3. Let the speed of boat in still water = 16x, speed of stream = 5x
    Upstream speed = 16x – 5x = 11x
    D
    S=
    t

    16.5
    11x = × 60
    45
    x=2
    speed of boat in still water = 32 km/h, speed of stream = 10 km/h
    Downstream speed = 32 + 10 = 42 km/h
    Distance = 17.5 km
    17.5
    time =
    42

    5
    = hour
    12

    5
    or × 60 = 25 minutes
    12
    Hence, option B is correct.

    4. Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 9 : 1


    Given Speed of current = 3 km/ h
    Speed of boat in downstream = 9 × 3 = 27 km/h
    Speed of boat in still water = Speed of boat in downstream – Speed of current
    = 27 – 3 = 24 km/h
    Speed of boat in upstream = 24 – 3 = 21 km/h
    Distance travelled by boat in upstream in 5 hours = 21 × 5 = 105 km
    Hence, option D is correct.

    5. For the first boat let the speed of the stream be 5x and the speed of the boat be 7x.
    For the 2nd boat, let the speed of the stream be 6y and the speed of the 2 nd boat be 8y.
    The speed of the stream will be the same.
    ∴ 5x = 6y
    6
    or, x = y
    5
    Now, the required ratio of the speed of the first boat to that of the second boat = 7x : 8y
    6
    ⇒ 7 × y : 8y
    5
    [Putting x in terms of y]
    21
    ∴ y : 4y = 21 : 20
    5
    Hence, option B is correct.
    6. Let speed of Boat = x km/h, Speed of stream = y km/h
    Distance
    Upstream speed =
    Time

    20
    x–y=
    (600 ÷ 60)

    x – y = 2 km/h ....(1)
    Distance
    Downstream speed =
    Time

    60
    x+y=
    5
    x + y = 12 km/h ....(2)
    Subtracting Equation (1) by Equation (2)
    y = 5 km/h.
    Hence, option D is correct.

    7. ∴ Distance = Speeddownstream × Time

    31 41x ×31
    = (36x + 5x) × = km
    6 6
    Now, Speedupstream = 36x – 5x = 31x kmph
    Distance
    ∴ Time taken =
    Speedupstream

    41 x × 31 41
    = = hrs
    31 x × 6 6

    5
    or 6 hrs or 6 hrs 50 mins
    6
    Hence, option C is correct.

    8. Speed of boat still water


    1
    = (Rate downstream + Rate upstream)
    2

    1 28
    = (21 + 7) = = 14 km/hr
    2 2

    Hence, option B is correct.


    9. The resulting speed in upstream is 4 – 2= 2 km/h.
    And the resulting speed in downstream is 4 + 2= 6 km/h.
    Since the boat is moving upstream from B to A.
    12
    So time taken is = 6 hours
    2

    12
    Now in downstream it takes = 2 hours
    6
    So in 1 hour it will travel half the distance = 6 km.
    So the distance of the boat from point A after 7 hours of travel will be 6 km.
    Hence, option D is correct.

    10. Let the speed of Boat be x km/hr


    So the speed while going upstream will be (x – 1) km/hr and the speed going downstream will be (x + 1) km/hr
    Since the distance travelled is the same, the equation can be formed as:
    (x – 1) × 5 = (x + 1) × 2.5
    ⇒x=3
    The distance between A and B is (3 + 1) × 2.5 = 10 km
    Hence the correct option is (E).
