      Question

      A boat covers a distance of 240 km downstream in 8

      hours. If the ratio of upstream speed to downstream speed of the boat is 2:5, then find the distance travelled by the boat in upstream in 15 hours.
      A 120 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 160 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 180 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 172 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the upstream and downstream speed of the boat be '2x' km/hr and '5x' km/hr, respectively. ATQ, 5x = (240/8) So, 'x' = 6 So, upstream speed of the boat = 2x = 2 Γ— 6 = 12 km/hr Required distance = 12 Γ— 15 = 180 km
