List of top Mathematics Questions on Boat and Stream

The speed of the stream is 25 kmph. The speed of the boat downstream is 15 m / s. Find the speed of the boat in still water.

Swati can row a boat on still water at a speed of 5 km/hr. However, on a given river, it takes her 1 hour more to row the boat 12 km upstream than downstream. One day, Swati rows the boat on this river from X to Y, which is N km upstream from X. Then she rows back to X immediately. If she takes at least 2 hours to complete this round trip, what is the minimum possible value of N?

A person can row a boat in still water at the rate of 5 km/hr. It takes him 4 times as long to row upstream of a river as to row downstream to cover same distance in the same river. The speed of flow of the stream is

A person can row a boat in still water at the rate of 5 km/hr. It takes him 4 times as long to row upstream of a river as to row downstream to cover same distance in the same river. The speed of flow of the stream is

David can row a boat in still water at the rate of 5 km/hr. He rowed in a river downstream to meet his friend. After returning back, he observed that the duration of the upstream journey was three times that of the downstream journey. The speed of the stream was:

Two unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting one head and one tail?

A ship 156 km from the shore develops a leak which admits 2.5 metric tons of water in 6 minutes and 30 seconds. A quantity of 68 metric tons would suffice to sink the ship, but luckily the ship's pumps can throw out 15 metric tons in an hour. The average rate of sailing so that it just reaches the shore from where it left as it begins to sink should be:

The speed of a boat in still water is 5 km/hr. If it takes thrice as much time in going 20 km upstream as in going the same distance downstream, find the speed of the stream:
