      Question

      Speed of current is equal to 40% of speed of boat in

      still water. If the boat takes 5 hours to cover 80 km in still water, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 96 km in upstream.
      A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of the boat in still water = 80 Γ· 5 = 16 km/h Speed of current = 16 Γ— 0.4 = 6.4 km/h Therefore, upstream speed of the boat = 16 – 6.4 = 9.6 km/hr Required time taken = 96 Γ· 9.6 = 10 hours
