The speed of the stream is 12 km/h. Boat ‘A’ covers
100 km distance against the stream in 5 hours and boat ‘B’ covers 80 km distance against the stream in 2 hours. The speed of boat ‘B’ in still water is how much percent of the speed of boat ‘A’ in still water?Solution
Speed of boat ‘A’ upstream = 100/5 = 20 km/h Speed of boat ‘B’ upstream = 80/2 = 40 km/h Speed of the boat ‘A’ in still water = 20 + 12 = 32 km/h Speed of the boat ‘B’ in still water = 40 + 12 = 52 km/h Required percentage = (52/32) × 100 = 162.5%
