      Question

      Downstream speed of a boat is (8/7)th of the speed of

      the boat in still water. Find the time taken by the boat to cover 280 km downstream if it covers 210 km upstream in 7 hours.
      A 5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the downstream speed of the boat and speed of the boat in still water be 8x km/hr and 7x km/hr, respectively. Therefore, speed of the stream = downstream speed - speed of the boat in still water Speed of stream Speed of stream = 8xтИТ7x = x km/hr And, upstream speed of the boat = speed of the boat in still water - speed of stream Upstream speed Upstream speed=7x тИТ x = 6x km/hr Given: So, downstream speed of the boat: 8x = 8├Ч5 = 40km/hr Required time:
