Question

Speed of current is 25% of speed of boat in still water, if boat travelled 45 km downstream and returned back in total 12 hr. then find speed of boat in still water?

A 4km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 8km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 6km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 10km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E 12km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Speed of boat in still water : Speed of current = 100x : 25x => 4x : x According to question, => 45/(4x + x) + 45/(4x – x) = 12 => (135 + 225)/15x = 12 => x = 360/180 = 2 Speed of boat in still water = 4 × 2 = 8 km/hr
