      Question

      A boat covers some distance downstream in 1 hour. It

      covers 3/2 hours. If the velocity of the stream is 3 kilometers per hour, then what will be the velocity of the boat in still water?
      A 10km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Β  Let the speed of boat in still water =B and speed of stream =S Given stream =S=4km/h Speed of boat in downstream =B+S, and time =1 hour. Then Distance = (B+S) Γ—1 Speed of boat in upstream = B-S and time =1.5h Then distance = (B-S) Γ—1.5 ATQ- (B+S) Γ—1=(B-S) Γ—1.5 2B+2S=3B-3S B=5S B=5Γ—4=20km/h.
