    • Question

      A boat takes the same amount of time to travel (x – 24)

      km upstream as it takes to cover (2x – 84) km downstream. If the speed of the boat is 12 km/h and the speed of the current is 2 km/h, what is the value of x?
      A 25 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 84 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 55 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      (x – 24)/(12 – 2) = (2x – 84)/(12 + 2)

      (x – 24)/10 = (2x – 84)/14

      14x – 336 = 20x – 840

      6x = 504

      x = 84

      So, the value of ‘x’ is 84 km.
