      Question

      The speed of the current is 80% lower than the boat's

      speed in still water. The boat covers 120 km in still water in 8 hours. How long will it take for the boat to travel 96 km upstream?
      A 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 9.6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 7.2 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of the boat in still water = 120 Γ· 8 = 15 km/h Speed of current = 15 X 0.2 = 3 km/h Therefore, upstream speed of the boat = 15 - 3 = 12 km/hr Required time taken = 96 Γ· 12 = 8 hours
