    Speed of a boat in still water to speed of boat in

    upstream is 11: 9. If the boat can travel 260 km in downstream in 10 hours, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 44 km in still water.
    A 139 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 145 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 120 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 148 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of boat in still water and speed of boat in upstream be ‘11x’ km/h and ‘9x’ km/h, respectively. Speed of stream = 11x – 9x = 2x km/h Speed of boat in downstream = 11x + 2x = 13x km/h So, 13x = 260/10 => x = 2 Speed of boat in still water = 11 × 2 = 22 km/h Desired time = 44/22 x 60 = 120 minutes =2 hours
