Question

    A boat can cover 130 km in downstream in 10 hours and

    120 km in upstream in 12 hours. Find the distance travelled by the boat in still water in 4 hours.
    A 40 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 41 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 46 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 43 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Downstream speed of the boat = 130/10 = 13 km/hr Upstream speed of the boat = 120/12 = 10 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = (13 + 10)/2 = 11.5 km/hr Distance travelled by the boat in still water in 4 hours = 11.5 × 4 = 46 km
