A boat goes 8 km upstream in 24 minutes. The speed of stream is 4 km/hr. The speed of boat in still water is:
A. 25 km/hr
B. 26 km/hr
C. 22 km/hr
D. 24 km/hr

- each machine got 2hrs to complete work,so for 100% actual speed time is 2 hrs then..taking 25% in that the work complete for half an hour...so,there are two machines so one hour....(reduced)...then the ans will be
9 hrs - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(27) No(8)
- rate upstream =8/24*60=20kmph
speed of stream=4kmph
let speed of boat in still water=xkmph
speed upstream=x-4kmph
x-4=20
x=24kmph - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(0)
- 2 of m/c speed increased 25% so now it is 2.50
tot=3+2.50=5.50
let x hour will take to complete the work
5*10=5.50*x
x=9 1/11 will take to complete the same work - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(8)
- speed increased by 25% means time decreased by 20%
Each machine take 2 hrs. so 2 machines time decreased by=3.2 hr rest of the three take 6 hr
Total time=3*2+2*(2*80/100)=9.2 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(9)
- boatstream=?,,, currentstream=4km/hr
upstream=boatstream-currentstream
upstream=distance/time=(8*60)/24=20km/hr
20=boatstream-4
boatstream=20+4=24 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- what is the correct answer?
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- each ordinary machine takes 2 hours.
ratio of time consumption between single ordinary machine and single improvised machine
125:100 = 2:x
so now one improved machine will take 1.6 hours instead of 2 hours. 2 machine will take 3.2 hours.
total time consumption is (3*2)+3.2= 9.2 hours. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)

answer with explanation
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Speed upstream @@=dfrac{8}{left(dfrac{24}{60}right)}@@ = 20 km/hr
Speed of the stream = 4 km/hr
speed of boat in still water = (20+4) = 24 km/hr - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Su=x-y,where x is the speed of boat in still water, y is the speed of stream and Su is boat upstream speed so,
Su=8/24/60=20km/hr
Now,
20=x-4
X=24km/hr - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 9.2 hours

- D = 8km
T = 24min (i.e) 24/60hr
speed in upstream is " a-b=speed "
where a is the speed of the boat and b is the speed of the stream
so we have the value of b i.e speed of the stream
and we have the value of distance and time of the boat, we can find the speed i.e a-b = speed
by substitute the value of b and speed we get the value of a which was the speed of the boat in the still water.
hence we get the above equation as :
a-b=speed
a-4=20 // speed = distance/time 8*60/24=20
a=24
hence the speed of the boat is 24km/hr. - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
