      Question

      A boat can travel 4.2km upstream in 14min. If the ratio

      of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 7:1. How much time will the boat take to cover 17.6km downstream ?
      A 44 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 33 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed = 7x : x
      Downstream = 8x; upstream = 6x
      Upstream speed = 4.2 x (60/14) = 18kmph
      6x = 18
      x = 3
      Downstream = 8 x 3 = 24
      Time taken for 17.6 km = 17.6 x (60/24) = 44 min
