      Question

      Speed of current is equal to 30% of speed of boat in

      still water. If the boat takes 6 hours to cover 120 km in still water, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 70 km in upstream.
      A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of the boat in still water = 120 Γ· 6 = 20 km/h Speed of current = 20 Γ— 0.3 = 6 km/h Therefore, upstream speed of the boat = 20 – 6 = 14 km/hr Required time taken = 70 Γ· 14 = 5 hours
