A) 1 B) 6
C) 5/2 D) 3/2

Q:

A boat takes 19 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to a point C which is at midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 kmph and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 kmph, what is the distance between A and B ? 

A) 180 km B) 160 km
C) 140 km D) 120 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 180 km

Explanation:

Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;

Speed in upstream = (14 – 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,

x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.

Q:

"I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?

A) Father = 50; Son =14 B) Father = 40; Son =24
C) Father = 60; Son =4 D) Father = 48; Son =16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24

Explanation:

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
