      Question

      The speed of a boat in still water is twice the speed of

      the current. If the boat takes 10 hours to cover 150 km upstream, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 300 km downstream.
      A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 7 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 8 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 = 2x km/hr
      According to the question,
      2x – x = 150 / 10
      Or, x = 15 km/hr
      Required time taken = 300 / (2x + x) = 300 / (3 Γ— 15) = 300/45 = 6 hours
