      Question

      A boat can travel 72 km upstream

      and 108 km downstream in 5 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water if the ratio of the speed of the boat in upstream to the speed of the boat in downstream is 2:3 respectively.
      A 36 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 56 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 26 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 16 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the boat in upstream be β€˜2x’ km/h and in downstream be β€˜3x’ km/h, respectively. According to the question:

      Speed of the boat in still water = (2x+3x)/2 = (5Γ—14.4)/2 = 36 km/h.
