    A launch covers 225 km in downstream in 5 hours. If the

    A 12 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Downstream speed of the launch = 225 / 5 = 45 km/h

    Therefore, upstream speed of the launch = 45 / 3 = 15 km/h

    Required time taken = 150 / 15 = 10 hours
