      In still water, the speed of boat ‘C’ is four times

      that of boat ‘D’. If both boats start towards each other from 280 km apart and meet in 4 hours, find the still water speed of boat ‘D’.
      A 18 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 14 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 still water speed of boat ‘D’ = y km/h

      Then, speed of boat ‘C’ = 4y km/h

      Let stream speed = x km/h

      Effective speed = y + 4y = 5y km/h

      So, 5y = 280 ÷ 4 = 70

      y = 70 ÷ 5 = 14

      Speed of boat ‘D’ in still water = 14 km/h
