    Question

    Speed of a boat in still water is three times the speed

    of the boat in upstream. If the boat takes 20 minutes to cover 26 km in downstream, then find the speed of the boat in still water.
    A 46.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 49.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of the boat in still water be тАШ3xтАЩ km/h. Speed of the boat in upstream = 3x ├╖ 3 = тАШxтАЩ km/h Speed of the stream = 3x тАУ x = тАШ2xтАЩ km/h Speed of the boat in downstream = 3x + 2x = тАШ5xтАЩ km/h ATQ; (26/20) ├Ч 60 = 78 So, 5x = 78 Or, x = 15.6 So, speed of the boat in still water = 3 ├Ч 15.6 = 46.8 km/h
