Question
The downstream speed of a boat is 8 km/hr more than its
upstream speed and the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 11:4. Find the total time taken by boat to travel 60 km downstream and 42 km upstream?Solution
Let the speed of boat in still water be x km/hr and that of stream be y km/hr. ATQ, ⇒ (x + y) – (x – y) = 8 ⇒ y = 4 km/hr ⇒ x = 4 × 11/4 = 11 km/hr Required time = [60/(11+4)] + [42/(11−4)] = 10 hr
