Question
The speed of a boat in still water is 7 km/hr and speed of current is 3 km/hr. If time taken to cover a certain distance upstream is 10 hours, then how long will the boat take to cover the same distance downstream?
Solution
Total distance = 10 × (7 – 3) = 40 km Required time = 40/(7 + 3) = 4 hrs
