IIM-K (BMSAT) 2025 (QA) PYQs

Given below are two statements based on the following:

A motor boat can travel 30 km upstream and 28 km downstream in 7 hours. It can travel 21 km upstream and return in 5 hours.

Statement I: Speed of the boat in still water is 12 km per hour.

Statement II: Speed of the stream is 4 km per hour.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

If the time taken by boat to travel upstream on Monday is $27 \frac{1}{5}$ hrs 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? (speed of boat in still water is the same in upstream as in downstream)

A person travels three equal distances at a speed of 'a' $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$, 'b' $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$ and ' $c$ ' $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}$ respectively. What is the average speed for the whole journey?
