    Question

    Downstream speed of a boat is 16 km /hr. Speed of stream

    is 40% less than the speed of boat. Find the speed of boat?
    A 20 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of boat = x km/h.   Then, speed of stream = x − 0.4x = 0.6x   Downstream speed = boat + stream    ⇒ x + 0.6x = 1.6x   Given 1.6x = 16.   Thus,   ⇒ x = 16/ 1.6 ​= 10 km/h
