    Question

    A boat can cover 200 km in downstream in 10 hours and

    150 km in upstream in 15 hours. Find the distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours.
    A 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 72 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 76 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Downstream speed of the boat = 200/10 = 20 km/hr Upstream speed of the boat = 150/15 = 10 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = (20 + 10)/2 = 15 km/hr Distance travelled by the boat in still water in 5 hours = 15 × 5 = 75 km
