A man rows upstream 13 km and downstream 28 km taking 5 hours each time. What is the speed of the current?
5 km p.h.
3 km p.h.
1.5 km p.h.
1 km p.h.
1.5 km p.h.
Up rate = 13 + 5 = 2.6 km per hour
Down rate = 28 + 5 = 5.6 km per hour
Speed of the current
=1.5 km p.h.

A train travelling 25 km an hour leaves Aligarh at 9 a.m. and another train travelling 35 km an hour starts at 2 p.m. in the same direction. How many km from Aligarh will the be together?
The train starting at 9 a.m. has travelled by 2 p.m. a distance of km i.e., 125 km
Relative speed of two trains = 35 - 25 i.e., 10 km per hour
The second train shall meet the first train in i.e., 12.5 hrs
Distance from Aligarh = 12.5 35 = 437.5 km

200 m
112 m
240 m
120 m
120 m
Relative speed = 56 - 29 = 27 km p.h.
