A motorboat can travel 30 km upstream and 28 km downstream in 7 hours. It can travel 21 km upstream and return in 5 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream

Let us consider the speed of the motorboat in still water to be u km/hr.

Let us consider the speed of the stream to be ν km/h.

downstream speed of motorboat = (u + ν) km/h

upstream speed of motorboat = (u - ν) km/h.

Time taken to travel 30 km upstream,

t₁ = 30/u-v hours

Time taken to travel 28km downstream,

t₂ = 28/u+v hours.

As per the first condition,

t₁ + t₂ = 7 hours

30/u-v + 28/u+v = 7------------------------------------------(1)

Time taken to travel 21 km upstream,

t₃ = 21/u-v hours.

Time taken to travel 21 km downstream,

t₄ = 21/u+v hours.

As per the second condition,

t₄ + t₃ = 5 hours

21/u+v + 21/u+v = 5------------------------------------------(2)

Let us consider,

Rearranging (1) and (2), we get,

30x + 28y = 7---------------------------------------------------(3)

21x + 21y = 5---------------------------------------------------(4)

x + y = 5/21.

Solve the linear equations (3) and (4)

Multiplying equation (4) by 28 and then subtracting from (3), we get,

(30x - 28y) - (28x + 28y) = 7 - 140/21

2x = 7 - 20/3

Substituting the value of x in(4), we get,

1/6 + y = 5/21

y = 5/21 = 1/6 = 10 -7/42 = 3/42

x = 1/u+v = 1/6

u + v = 6---------------------------(5)

y = 1/u-v = 1/14

u-v = 14----------------------------(6)

Adding (5) and (6), we get,

Substituting the value of u in (5),we get,

10 + ν = 6

Therefore, the speed of the motorboat in still water is 10 km/h and the speed of the stream 4 km/h.

Boats and Streams Formula

Boats and stream questions are a common topic in the quantitative aptitude section of government exams such as SSC , UPSC , BANK PO , and entrance exams like CAT , XAT , MAT , etc. Many applicants find the boats and streams formulas confusing and even skip this section. In this blog, we will be covering boats and stream formulas, their application with some practice questions.

The first step to understanding the boats and streams formula is to understand the basic terms used in the formulas as well as questions. Here are the important terms every applicant should know:

  • Stream- The water that is moving in the river is called a stream.
  • Upstream- When the boat is flowing in the opposite direction of the stream, it is called Upstream.
  • Downstream- When the boat is flowing in the same direction as the stream, it is called Downstream
  • Still Water- When the water is stationary i.e. not flowing then the speed of water is zero.

Without knowing the accurate boats and streams formula it is impossible for any applicant to solve the question. Every applicant should memorize these and should be on fingertips. Here are some of the important boats and stream formulas:

Other Important Boats and stream formulas

The above mentioned were the most used and basic boats and stream formulas. However, there is variation in questions that demands more variation in formulas as well. Here are some other important boats and stream formula:

  • Calculating distance between two points, If it takes “t” hours for a boat to reach a point in still water and comes back to the same point  Distance = {(u2-v2) × t} / 2u
  • Calculating the distance between two points, If it takes “t” hours more to go to a point upstream than downstream for the same distance Distance = {(u2-v2) × t} / 2v
  • Calculate the speed of swimmer or man in still water, If a boat travels a distance downstream in “t1” hours and returns the same distance upstream in “t2” hours [v × {(t2+t1) / (t2-t1)}] km/hr u= speed of the boat in still water  v= speed of the stream

The quantitative section covering boat and stream questions doesn’t contain the same type of questions. There are 4 types of questions and based on the type, boats and stream formula is applied accordingly:

  • Time-based questions
  • Speed based questions
  • Average speed based questions
  • DIstance based questions
  • Time-based questions : As the name suggests, you have to calculate time in this type of question. You will have to calculate the time taken by a boat to travel upstream or downstream.

Example – The speed of a boat is that of the stream as 36:5. The boat goes along with the stream in 5 hours and 10 minutes. How much time will it take to come back?

Solution:  6 5/6

  • Speed-based questions : In this type, you have to calculate the speed of the stream or boat. In this type of question, you might also find variations such as the speed of the boat in still water.

Example – The speed of the boat when traveling downstream is 32 km/hr. whereas when traveling upstream it is 28 km/hr. What are the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream?

Solution :  Speed of the boat in still water = 30 km/hr.

Speed of the stream = 2 km/hr.

  • Average speed-based questions : This is the simplest type, the speed of downstream and upstream will be mentioned and you have to find out the average speed. Sometimes, the speed of either one stream is mentioned with the average speed and you will have to calculate the other speed of the other stream.

Example –  A boat, while going downstream in a river covered a distance of 50 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. While returning because of water resistance, it took 1 hour 15 minutes to cover the same distance. What was the average speed during the whole journey?

Solution :  48 miles/ hr.

  • Distance-based questions – In this type, you have to calculate the distance traveled by boat upstream or downstream. Usually in this type of question time, speed and stream are mentioned.

Example –  A person challenged himself to cross a small river and back. His speed of the boat in still water is 3 km/hr. He calculated the speed of the river that day as 1 km/hr. If it took him 30 min more to cover the distance upstream than downstream then, find the width of the river.

Solution:  2 Km

Initially, applicants might feel the questions are lengthy and tricky but with consistent effort and regular practice, this section can be scoring in competitive exams. Here are some tips and tricks for boats and stream questions:

  • Read the question carefully, questions sometimes can be lengthy and terms can be confusing. Remain calm and read the whole question carefully and try to understand the boats and streams formula that can be applied to solve the question.
  • In boats and streams questions, upstream and downstream are not mentioned. Don’t let it confuse you. Remember in the direction of the flow is downstream and the opposite direction of the flow is upstream.
  • You will only be able to solve these questions if you have memorized the boats and streams formula. Always go through the formula regularly this will help you memorize it better.
  • At last, practice makes the students perfect. Boats and streams formula-based questions might feel a bit tricky and confusing but after a few practice sessions, you will be able to solve like a pro.

Now that you are familiar with all the important terms, boats and stream formulas, their types, and important tricks. Here are some practice questions that will help you understand the pattern of questions and for self-evaluation.

  • In one hour, a boat goes 11 km along the stream and 5 km against the stream. The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr) is: 
  •  3                     
  • 5                    
  • 8                
  •  9                
  • A certain boat downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours downstream while covering the same distance upstream, it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?  
  • 4 km/hr                       
  • 6 km/hr                          
  • 8 km/hr                       
  • Data Inadequate         
  • None of these

Answer: 6 km/hr

  • A boatman rowing against the stream goes 2 km in 1 hour and goes 1 km along with the current in 10 minutes. How long does it take him to go 5 km in stationary water?  
  • 40 minutes                 
  • 1 hour                     
  • 1 hr 15 minutes                  
  • 1 hr 30 minutes                      
  • None of These

Answer: 1 hour 15 minutes

  • A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is:   
  •  2 mph
  • 3 mph 

Answer:  2 mph  

  •  If Rajiv rows at his usual rate, he can travel 12 miles downstream in a certain river in 6 hours less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. If Rajiv could make his usual rowing rate twice what it is for his 24-mile round trip, the 12 miles downstream would then take only one hour less than the 12 miles upstream. What is the speed of the current in miles per hour?
  • 1(1/3)                          
  • 1(2/3)                            
  • 2(1/3)                            ‘

Answer: 2(2/3)

 {(Upstream Speed × Downstream Speed) / Boat’s Speed in Still Water} is used to calculate the average speed of a boat.

Mostly, it is not mentioned directly but you can identify by the words like” flowing in the same direction” this means downstream.

The speed of still water is always zero.

All boat and stream questions are not the same, they can be classified into 4 types distance, average speed, speed, and time-based questions.

Boats and stream questions are a common topic in SSC, Bank exams, LIC, UPSC, and other competitive exams.

This was the best tool ive ever used that was on point from speed to distance and time Calculator

This was somewhat unhelpful as I know the time and distance, but not the speed. Would be helpful if this calculator also could solve the other two as well.

A car can go from rest to 45 km/hr in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

Guys how much time will a cyclist take to cover 132 METRES With a speed of 8 km/ph

@Mike Depends on how fast that actually is. For every 10 mph above 60, but below 120, you save 5 seconds a mile. But between the 30-60 area, every ten saves 10 seconds a mile (if I am remembering correctly), and every 10 between 15-30 is 20 seconds. Realistically, it isn't likely isn't worth it, unless it is a relatively straight drive with no stops, in which case you will likely go up a gear for the drive and thus improve gas efficiency for the trip. Only really saves time if it is over long trips 300+ miles (in which case, assuming you were on the interstate) that 5 seconds a mile would save you 25 minutes from the drive, making it go from 4h35m to 4h10m. For me, I have family across the U.S., so family visits are usually 900-1400 miles. Even only driving 5 above usually saves me 90-150 minutes or so (since I often have stretches where I drive on US highways which have 55 mph speed limits)

I would like to know if driving fast is worth it for short trips. If I drive 10 MPH over the speed limit for 10 miles, how much time do i save ? Is there an equation for that ?

it helps me in lot of stuff

awesome, helped me notice how long my taiga (electric seedoo) is going to last.

The time taken to travel 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream is 14 hours. If the distance covered in upstream is doubled and distance covered in downstream is increased by 11 km then the total time taken is 11 hours more than earlier. Find the speed of the stream.

The correct option is A 4 km/hr Let's assume that the speed of the boat in still water is x km/hr and speed of the stream is y km/hr. So, the speed of the boat in upstream will be (x-y) km/hr. Similarly, the speed of the boat downstream will be (x+y) km/hr. We know time = ( distance speed ) . Using the above formula we can form the equations in two variables. Taking the first case, 30 x - y + 44 x + y = 14 . Taking the second case, 60 x - y + 55 x + y = 25 . Now, we have the equations in two variables but the equations are not linear. So, we will assume 1 x - y = u and 1 x + y = v . So on substituting u and v in the above two equations, we get 30 u + 44 v = 14 ...(1) 60 u + 55 v = 25 ...(2) We can solve the above two equations using the elimination method. 60 u + 88 v = 28 ...(3) (by multiplying equation (1) by 2) On subtracting equation (2) from (3), we get v = 1 11 On substituting v in equation (2) we get u = 1 3 Now as we have assumed 1 x - y = u and 1 x + y = v On substituting the values of u and v , we get a pair of linear equations in x and y x - y = 3 ...(4) x + y = 11 ...(5) On adding (5) from (4), we have 2 x = 14 x = 7 On subsituting the value of x in x − y = 3 , we get y = 4. So, the speed of the boat in still water is 7 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.

A boat covers 32 km upstream and 36 km downstream in 7 hours. Also, it covers 40 km upstream and 48 km downstream in 9 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and that of the stream.

Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr and the speed of the stream but y km/hr. Then, Speed upstream = ( x − y ) km/hr Speed downstream = ( x + y ) km/hr Now, Time taken to cover 32 km upstream = 32 x − y hrs Time taken to cover 36 km downstream = 36 x + y hrs But, total time of journey is 7 hours. ∴ 32 x − y + 36 x + y = 7 ..(i) Time taken to cover 40 km upstream = 40 x − y Time taken to cover 48 km downstream = 48 x + y In this case, total time of journey is given to be 9 hours. ∴ 40 x − y + 48 x + y = 9 (ii) Putting 1 x − y = u and 1 x + y = v in equations (i) and (ii), we get 32 u + 36 v = 7 ⇒ 32 u − 36 v − 7 = 0 ..(iii) 40 u + 48 v = 9 ⇒ 40 u − 48 v − 9 = 0 ..(iv) Solving these equations by cross-multiplication, we get u 36 × − 9 − 48 × − 7 = − v 32 × − 9 − 40 × − 7 = 1 32 × 48 − 40 × 36 ⇒ u − 324 + 336 = − v − 288 + 280 = 1 1536 − 1440 ⇒ u 12 = v 8 = 1 96 ⇒ u = 12 96 and v = 8 96 ⇒ u = 1 8 and v = 1 12 Now, u = 1 8 ⇒ 1 x − y = 1 8 ⇒ x − y = 8 ..(v) and, v = 1 12 ⇒ 1 x + y = 1 12 ⇒ x + y = 12 ..(vi) Solving equations (v) and (vi), we get x = 10 and y = 2 Hence, Speed of the boat in still water = 10 km/hr and Speed of the stream = 2 km/hr.
