      Boat ‘R’ travels thrice as fast as boat ‘S’ in

      still water. If they start from points 450 km apart and move towards each other, meeting after 5 hours, what is the speed of boat ‘S’ in still water?
      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 the still water speed of boat ‘S’ = y km/h

      Then, still water speed of boat ‘R’ = 3y km/h

      Let stream speed = x km/h

      Effective speed = y + 3y = 4y km/h

      So, 4y = 450 ÷ 5 = 90

      y = 90 ÷ 4 = 22.5

      Speed of boat ‘S’ in still water = 22.5 km/h
