    A boatman covers 240 km upstream in 4 hours, and 432 km

    downstream in 6 hours. Find the time taken by the boatman to cover 528 km in still water.
    A 4 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Upstream speed = 240/4 = 60 km/h
    Downstream speed = 432/6 = 72 km/h
    Speed in still water = (60 + 72)/2 = 66 km/h
    Required time = 528/66 = 8 hours
