Question

    The speed of the stream is 10 km/h. Boat ‘A’ covers

    110 km distance against the stream in 11 hours and boat ‘B’ covers 65 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?
    A 200.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 202.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 212.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 110.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of boat ‘A’ upstream = 110/11 = 10 km/h Speed of boat ‘B’ upstream = 65/2 = 32.5 km/h Speed of the boat ‘A’ in still water = 10 + 10 = 20 km/h Speed of the boat ‘B’ in still water = 32.5 + 10 = 42.5 km/h Required percentage = (42.5/20) × 100 = 212.5%
