      Question

      The speed of boat in still water is 24 kmph. If it

      takes 3 hour to go upstream 30 kms, in what time (approx) will it return same distance downstream?
      A 47 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 53 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Distance = 30 km Time taken to go upstream = 3 hour ∴ Speed upstream = 30/3 = 10 km/hr ∴ Speed of the current = 24 – 10= 14 km/hr ∴ Speed downstream = 24 + 14 =38 km/hr ∴ Time taken to go downstream = 30/38 = 15/19 hr ⇒ (15/19) x 60 minutes = 47 minutes approx
