      Question

      Speed of a boat in still water to speed of boat in

      upstream is 11:7. If the boat can travel 300 km in downstream in 5 hours, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 22 km in still water.
      A 30 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 15 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of boat in still water and speed of boat in upstream be β€˜11x’ km/h and β€˜7x’ km/h, respectively. Speed of stream = 11x – 7x = 4x km/h Speed of boat in downstream = 11x + 4x = 15x km/h So, 15x = 300/5 = 60 Or, x = 4 Speed of boat in still water = 11 Γ— 4 = 44 km/h Desired time = 22/44 = 30 minutes
