15.1 Quantitative Ability
Instructions [1-5]: Study the data given below and answer the following questions. The pie charts show the distance covered by a boat moving upstream and downstream on different days of a week, and the table shows the speed of the stream (in km/hr) on different days of a week.
If the time taken by boat to travel upstream on Wednesday is \(\frac{6}{7}\) times the time taken to travel downstream on Monday and the speed of boat in still water on Monday is 15 kmph, then find the speed of boat in still water on Wednesday.
If the time taken by boat to travel upstream on Monday is \(27\frac{1}{5}\) hours more than the time taken by it to travel downstream on the same day, then find the speed of boat in still water on Monday.
If the speed of boat in still water on Saturday was 27 km/hr and the speed of boat in still water on Wednesday was more than that of Saturday and time taken to travel upstream on Wednesday is \(66\frac{2}{3}\%\) times the time taken by it to travel downstream on Saturday, then find the speed of stream (in kmph) on Saturday.
The speed of boat in still water on Saturday was 21 km/hr and that on Sunday was more than that on Saturday. If the time taken by boat to travel upstream on Saturday is \(28\frac{4}{7}\%\) times the time taken to travel downstream on Sunday, then find the time taken by the boat to cover a distance of 125 km upstream on Saturday.
If the time taken by boat to travel upstream on Friday is 30 hours more than the time taken by it to travel downstream on Wednesday and the speed of boat in still water on Friday is 17 kmph, then find the upstream speed of boat on Wednesday.
