Downstream speed of the boat = 6 km/hr, then Time taken in travelling 66 km downstream = 66/6 = 11 hrTime taken in travelling 66 km upstream = – 11 = (33/2) hrUpstream speed of the boat = 66/(33/2) = 4 km/hrSo, the speed of boat in still water = (Downstream + Upstream)/2 = (6 + 4)/2 = 5 km/hr.
As we know,
Speed =
Here, ratio of speed of upstream to downstream = 1 : 3
Let us assume the speed of upstream = x
So, the speed of the downstream = 3x
Since, speed of boat in still water – speed of stream = x
speed of boat in still water + speed of stream = 3x
2 × Speed of boat in still water = 3x + x
Speed of boat in still water = 2x
Ratio of speed of boat in still water to the speed of the stream = 2x : x
= 2 : 1
Let the speed of boatman in still water = x km/h
Let the speed of the current = y km/h
According to the question,
x + y = ⇒ x + y = 18 …..(1)
x – y = ⇒ x – y = …..(2)
Solving eq. 1 & eq. 2, we get x = 12.8 & y = 5.2
Time taken by the boat to cover 192 km in still water = = 15 hours

How much profit did Anand make by selling a bed?
Statement I: He bought the bed with 40% discount on the labelled price.
Statement II: He sold it with 20% profit on the labelled price.
Let the labelled price be Rs. x
From Statement I:
From Statement II:
From Statement I and II together:
Thus, even statement I and II together do not give the answer
Hence, option D is the answer.
What is the monthly income of Mr. Taneja?
Statement I: Monthly expenditure of Mr Taneja is Rs. 28000
Statement II: Mr. Taneja deposits 50% of his income in PPF and his expenditure on food is Rs. 8000
Statement III: Mr. Taneja saves 20% of his salary
From I and III:
∴ Salary= Rs. 35000
From II, we get no information
Hence, E is the answer
A, B and C together start a business with a total investment of Rs. 15000. At the end of the year, the total profit is Rs. 3000. What is A’s share in the profit if all three persons invest for 1 year?
Statement I: A’s contribution is 3/2 times B’s
Statement II: B’s contribution is twice that of C
Statement III: A’s contribution is thrice that of C
Let C’s contribution be Rs. x
From I and II, we get:
From II and III, we get:
From I and III, we get:
A’s share =
Thus, any two of the three give the answer.
∴ Hence option D
A and B together can complete a task in 7 days. B alone can do it in 20 days. What part of the work was carried out by A?
Statement I: A completed the job alone after A and B worked together for 5 days.
Statement II: Part of the work done by A could have been done by B and C together in 6 days.
Let the total work be 140 units.Combined efficiency of A and B = 140/7 = 20 unitsEfficiency of B = 140/20 = 7 unitsEfficiency of A = 20 − 7 = 13 unitsFrom I:Work done by A and B together in 5 days = 20 × 5 = 100 unitsWork done by A in 5 days = 13 × 5 = 65 unitsTotal work done by A = 65 + 40 = 105 units (remaining work is done by A)Part of work done by A = 105/140 = 3/4
Statement II is irrelevant.
∴ Correct answer is option A
Two cars A and B leave at the same time from points X and Y respectively for points Y and X respectively. They meet at point Z. After meeting, car A took 6 hours to reach point Y and car B took 24 hours to reach point X.
Quantity II: 32 hours
Quantity I:
Let the time taken by car A and B to reach point Z be ‘t’ hours.
t × t = 24 × 6 = 144
⇒ t = 12 hours
Required time = 12 + 24 = 36 hours
Quantity II:
32 hours
Here, Quantity-I > Quantity-II. Hence, the answer is option A.
10 men can complete a work in 12 days. Efficiency of a woman is half the efficiency of a man.
Quantity II: Time taken by 12 children to complete a work.
The efficiency of a child is less than the efficiency of a woman. 10 women complete a work in 11 days.
Total work = 10 × 12 = 120 units
Required time = 120 × ÷ = 10 days
Total work = 10 × 11 = 110 units
Required time > or 9.17 days
Here, no relation can be established. Hence, the answer is option E.
Quantity II: Usual speed of car in km/hr. If Amit drove a car at a speed of 10 km/hr less than usual, he took 30 mins more than usual to reach office. Amit usually took 2 hours to reach his office.
Speed of train = × = 32.4 km/hr
Let the Initial speed of car be x km/hr.
(x – 10)(2.5) = (x)(2)
⇒ 2.5x – 25 = 2x
⇒ x = 50 km/hr
Here, Quantity-I < Quantity-II. Hence, the answer is option B.
