      The speed of boat ‘M’ in still water is double the

      speed of boat ‘N’. The two boats are 360 km apart on a river and move towards each other at the same time. If they meet after 6 hours, what is the speed of boat ‘N’ in still water?
      A 18 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the still water speed of boat ‘N’ = ‘y’ km/h

      Then, still water speed of boat ‘M’ = 2 × y = ‘2y’ km/h

      Let stream speed = ‘x’ km/h

      Effective relative speed = 2y + y = ‘3y’ km/h

      So, 3y = 360 ÷ 6 = 60

      y = 60 ÷ 3 = 20

      Speed of boat ‘N’ in still water = 20 km/h
