Question

    A boat takes 2 hours to cover 60 km downstream. If the

    speed of the stream is 3 km/h, then how far will it go upstream in 6 hours?

    B 124 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 100 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 110 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Downstream speed of the boat = 60 ÷ 2 = 30 km/h Speed of stream = 3 km/h Speed of boat in still water = 30 - 3 = 27 km/h Upstream speed of the boat = 27 - 3 = 24 km/h Distance covered upstream in 6 hours = 24 × 6 = 144 km
