    Question

    When travelling downstream, a boat takes 5.25 hours to

    travel 147 km. If the speed of the stream is (3/7)th of downstream speed of the boat, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 224 km in still water.
    A 11 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Downstream speed of the boat = 147/5.25 = 28 km/hr Speed of the stream = 28 x (3/7) = 12 km/hr So, speed of the boat in still water = 28 – 12 = 16 km/hr Required time taken = 224/16 = 14 hours
