A man's speed with the current is 20 kmph and speed of the current is 3 kmph. The Man's speed against the current will be

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Speed Upstream} = \frac{3}{\frac{20}{60}} = 9 km/hr \\
\text{Speed Downstream} = \frac{3}{\frac{18}{60}} = 10 km/hr \\
\text{Rate of current will be} \\
\frac{10-9}{2} = \frac{1}{2} km/hr
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the distance is x km
Rate downstream = 5 + 1 = 6 kmph
Rate upstream = 5 - 1 = 4 kmph
then
x/6 + x/4 = 1 [because distance/speed = time]
=> 2x + 3x = 12
=> x = 12/5 = 2.4 km

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please remember,
If a is rate downstream and b is rate upstream
Rate in still water = 1/2(a+b)
Rate of current = 1/2(a-b)

=> Rate in still water = 1/2(20+10) = 15 kmph
=> Rate of current = 1/2(20-10) = 5 kmph

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let speed downstream = x kmph
Then Speed upstream = 2x kmph

So ratio will be,
(2x+x)/2 : (2x-x)/2
=> 3x/2 : x/2 => 3:1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec
Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec
Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.
= 25/18 m/sec
= (25/18)*(18/5) kmph
= 5 kmph
