    Question

    A boat covers (x – 20) km upstream in the same time it

    covers (2x – 95) km downstream. If the speed of the boat and stream are 15 km/h and 3 km/h respectively, find the value of ‘x’.
    A 125 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 130 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 – 20)/(15 – 3) = (2x – 95)/(15 + 3)

    (x – 20)/12 = (2x – 95)/18

    18x – 360 = 24x – 1140

    6x = 780 → x = 130

    So, the value of ‘x’ is 130 km.
