    A boat covers 35 km downstream in 2 h and covers the

    same distance upstream in 7 h. Find the speed (in km/h) of the boat in still water.
    A 13.75km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10.25km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14.55km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11.25km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of boat in still water =B and speed of stream =S then Speed of Boat in Downstream =B+S = 35/2=17.5km/h Speed of Boat in upstream = B-S = 35/7 =5km/h Then now speed of boat in still water = B = (17.5+5)/2 =22.5/2=11.25km/h
