Question
A boat, whose speed in still water is 25% more than the
speed of the current, covers 810 km downstream in _____ hours. The speed of the boat in still water is ______ km. The values given in which of the following options will fill the blanks in the same order in which is it given to make the statement true: I. 18, 23 II. 12, 37.5 III. 18, 30Solution
Downstream speed of the boat = x + 1.25x = 2.25x km/hr For I: 2.25x = 810/18 => 2.25x = 45 => x = 20 Therefore, speed of boat in still water = 1.25x = 25 km/hr Therefore, I is false. For II: 2.25x = 810/12 => 2.25x = 67.5 => x = 30 Therefore, speed of boat in still water = 1.25x = 37.5 km/hr Therefore, II is true. For III: 2.25x = 810/18 => 2.25x = 45 => x = 20 Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = 1.25x = 25 km/hr Therefore, III is false.
