      Question

      The velocity of a boat when moving downstream is 18 km/h

      greater than the speed of the stream. If it takes the boat 8 hours to travel 192 km downstream, determine the time it will take the boat to cover a distance of 90 km upstream.
      A 2.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 7.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 8.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let, speed of stream be β€˜a’ km/h Speed of boat in downstream = β€˜a + 18’ km/h So, 192/(a + 18) = 8 192 = 8a + 144 8a = 48 a = 6 Required time taken = 90/(18 – 6)Β  = 90/12Β  = 7.5 hrs
