      Question

      A boat can travel 7.2 km upstream in 18 min. 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 17.6 km 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
      E 27 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed = 7x : 1x
      Downstream = 8x; upstream = 6x
      Upstream speed = 7.2 x (60/18) = 24 kmph
      6x = 24
      x = 4
      Downstream = 8 x 4 = 32
      Time taken for 17.6 km = 17.6 x (60/32) = 33 min
