    Question

    Boat ‘A’ can cover 180 km in still water in 12

    hours. In still water, if the ratio of the speed of boat ‘A’ to that of ‘B’ is 3:4 and the speed of stream is 3 km/hr then find the time taken by boat ‘B’ to cover the 253 km in downstream.
    A 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of boat ‘A’ in still water = 180/12 = 15 km/hr Speed of boat ‘B’ in still water = 15 × (4/3) = 20 km/hr Downstream speed of boat ‘B’ = 20 + 3 = 23 km/hr Time taken by boat ‘B’ to cover 253 km in downstream = 253/23 = 11 hours
