    Question

    The ratio of the speed of boat тАШAтАЩ in still water,

    the speed of boat тАШBтАЩ in still water and the speed of the current is 6:4:2, respectively. If the time taken by boat тАШAтАЩ to travel (6D тАУ 22) km downstream is equal to the time taken by boat тАШBтАЩ to travel (D + 70) km upstream, then find the value of тАШDтАЩ.
    A 121 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 131 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 151 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 141 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let, the speeds of boat тАШAтАЩ and boat тАШBтАЩ, in still water and the speed of the current be 6x km/hr, 4x km/hr and 2x km/hr, respectively. According to the question, (6D тАУ 22)/(6x + 2x) = (D + 70)/(4x тАУ 2x) Or, 12D тАУ 44 = 8D + 560 Or, 4D = 604 Or, D = 151
