Question
The ratio of the speed of boat ‘A’ in still water,
the speed of boat ‘B’ in still water and the speed of the current is 7:5:2, respectively. If the time taken by boat ‘A’ to travel (4D – 10) km downstream is equal to the time taken by boat ‘B’ to travel (D + 60) km upstream, then find the value of ‘D’.Solution
Let, the speeds of boat ‘A’ and boat ‘B’, 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 – 10)/(7x + 2x) = (D + 60)/(5x – 2x) Or, 12D – 30 = 9D + 540 Or, 3D = 570 Or, D = 190
