      Question

      Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream

      is 4:3, if speed of current is 6 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 7 hours.
      A 28 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of downstream and speed of stream be 4x and 3x respectively. Speed of current => 3x = 6 => x = 2 km/hr Downstream speed = 4 Γ— 2 = 8 km/h Speed of boat = 8 - 2 = 6 km/hr Upstream speed = 6 - 2 = 4 km/h Distance travelled upstream in 7 hr = 7 Γ— 4 = 28 km
