Question

The ratio of the speed of boat ‘A’ in still water, the speed of boat ‘B’ in still water and the speed of the current is 8:5:2, respectively. If the time taken by boat ‘A’ to travel (5D – 50) km downstream is equal to the time taken by boat ‘B’ to travel (D + 55) km upstream, then find the value of ‘D’.

A 100

B 120

C 140

D 130

E None of these
