    Question

    Which of the following statements is correct?
    I. A boat travels 30 km downstream in 6 hours. If she travels 40 km upstream in 10 hours, the speed of the stream is 1 km/hr.
    II. The length of a train is 1200 meters. If it can cross a 1500 m long platform in 120 seconds, the speed of the train is 90 km/hr. 



    A.

    Neither I nor II

    B.

    Both I and II

    C.

    Only II

    D.

    Only I

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Statement I:
    Downstream distance = 30 km, Time = 6 hours
    Upstream distance = 40 km, Time = 10 hours
    We are to check whether the speed of the stream = 1 km/hr
    Statement II:
    Train length = 1200 m
    Platform length = 1500 m
    Time to cross = 120 seconds
    We are to check whether the speed of the train = 90 km/hr
    Formula Used:
    Speed = Distance / Time
    For boats: Speed of stream = (Downstream speed − Upstream speed) / 2
    For trains: Total distance = Length of train + Length of platform
    Speed in km/hr = (Distance in meters / Time in seconds) × (18/5)
    Solution:
    Statement I:
    Downstream speed = 306\frac{30}{6}​ = 5 km/hr

    Upstream speed = 4010\frac{40}{10}​ = 4 km/hr

    Speed of stream = 542\frac{5-4}{2}​= 0.5 km/hr
    The given statement I is incorrect (Statement says 1 km/hr, actual is 0.5 km/hr)
    Statement II:
    Total distance = 1200 + 1500 = 2700 meters
    Speed (m/s) = 2700120\frac{2700} {120} ​= 22.5 m/s
    Speed (km/hr) = 22.5 × 185\frac{18}{5}​ = 81 km/hr
    The given statement II is incorrect (Statement says 90 km/hr, actual is 81 km/hr)
