    Question

    The ratio of the speed of boat тАШAтАЩ in still water,

    the speed of boat тАШBтАЩ in still water and the speed of the current is 7:5:2, respectively. If the time taken by boat тАШAтАЩ to travel (4D тАУ 10) km downstream is equal to the time taken by boat тАШBтАЩ to travel (D + 60) km upstream, then find the value of тАШDтАЩ.
    A 190 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 150 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the speeds of boat тАШAтАЩ and boat тАШBтАЩ, in still water and the speed of the current be 7x km/hr, 5x km/hr and 2x km/hr, respectively. According to the question, (4D тАУ 10)/(7x + 2x) = (D + 60)/(5x тАУ 2x) Or, 12D тАУ 30 = 9D + 540 Or, 3D = 570 Or, D = 190
