      Question

      The speed of a boat in still water is twice the speed of

      the current. The difference between downstream and upstream speeds is 16 km/h. If the boat spends 10 hours to travel the same distance 'q' km each way, find 'q'.
      A 20 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 50 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 55 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the speed of the stream = t km/h Speed of the boat in still water = 2t km/h Upstream speed of the boat = 2t โ€“ t = t km/h Downstream speed of the boat = 2t + t = 3t km/h Difference in Speed: - 3t - t = 2tย  = 16 km/h, so, t = 8 km/h Calculate the time for each distance 'q':
