      The time to travel (x – 35) km upstream is the same as

      the time for (2x – 115) km downstream. Given the boat’s speed is 11 km/h and the stream’s speed is 2 km/h, find ‘x’.
      A 125 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 116 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 155 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 120 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      (x – 35)/(11 – 2) = (2x – 115)/(11 + 2)

      (x – 35)/9 = (2x – 115)/13

      13x – 455 = 18x – 1035

      5x = 580 → x = 116

      So, the value of ‘x’ is 116 km.
