A sample question from this test
A boat can travel at 13 km/h in still water and the stream flows at 7 km/h. How long (in hours) will it take to go 140 km downstream?
- 10
- 17
- 12
- 7
Answer: D. 7. Downstream speed = 13 + 7 = 20 km/h. Time = 140 ÷ 20 = 7 hours.
How to approach this test
Downstream speed is boat plus stream and upstream is boat minus stream; the boat speed is half the sum of the two and the stream speed half their difference.
This set leans easy, so use it to confirm that you can solve the basic pattern accurately before you move to harder sets. At 10 questions in 15 minutes, you have about 90 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
