Basic Maths Mcqs
Q. A man can row 30 km downstream and 20 km upstream in 4 hours. He can row 45 km downstream and 40 km upstream in 7 hours. Find the speed of man in still water?
a. 15 kmph
b. 10 kmph
c. 12 kmph
d. 12.5 kmph
e. None of these
Let the speed of the man in still water be a kmph and let the speed of the stream be b kmph.
Now 30/(a + b) + 20/(a – b) = 4 and 45/(a + b) + 40/(a – b) = 7
Solving the equation, the speed of man in still water is 12.5 kmph.
