      Question

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

      upstream is 13:10. If the boat can travel 320 km in downstream in 5 hours, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 13 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
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of boat in still water and speed of boat in upstream be β€˜13x’ km/h and β€˜10x’ km/h, respectively. Speed of stream = 13x – 10x = 3x km/h Speed of boat in downstream = 13x + 3x = 16x km/h So, 16x = 320/5 = 64 Or, x = 4 Speed of boat in still water = 13 Γ— 4 = 52 km/h Desired time = 13/52 = 15 minutes
