      Question

      The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr and the

      speed of the stream is 2.5 km/hr. A man rows to a place at a distance of 37.5 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:
      A 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 13 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 9 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 14 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate downstream = (10 + 2.5) kmph = 12.5 kmph Rate upstream = (10 – 2.5) kmph = 7.5 kmph According to the question, Time = Distance/Speed Hence, Required time = 37.5/12.5 + 37.5/7.5 = 3 + 5 = 8 hours
