    120 km in upstream in 12 hours. Find the distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours.
    A 52 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 33 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Downstream speed of the boat = 150/15 = 10 km/hr Upstream speed of the boat = 120/12 = 10 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = (10 + 10)/2 = 10 km/hr Distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours = 10 × 5 = 50 km
