      Question

      The speed of a boat in still water is 4 times more than

      that of the current. If the boat takes 9 hours to cover 108 km upstream, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 522 km downstream.
      A 28 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 29 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 31 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the current be β€˜x’ km/hr
      Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = 5x km/hr
      According to the question,
      5x – x = 108 / 9
      Or, 4x = 12
      Or, x = 3 km/hr
      Required time taken = 522 / (5x + x) = 522 / (6 Γ— 3) = 522/18 = 29 hours
