      A boat can cover 150 km in downstream in 15 hours and

      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
