Question

The speed of a boat in downstream is 20% more than speed of boat in still water. If the boat travels a distance of 90 km upstream in 15 hours then find the time taken by the boat to cover a distance of 252 km in downstream.

A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 3 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let speed of boat in still water is ‘x’ km/h
Speed of boat in downstream = 1.20x km/h
Speed of boat in upstream = 0.2 x km/h
So, 0.2 x = 90/15 = 6
So, x = 30
Desired time = 252/36 = 7 hours
