    Question

    A boat moves at 40 km/hr downstream and 10 km/hr

    upstream. How long will it take to cover 150 km in still water?
    A 2 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the boat’s speed in still water be x km/hr, and current speed be y km/hr. Then: Downstream speed = x + y = 40 ......(1) Upstream speed = x - y = 10 ......(2) Adding (1) and (2): x + y + x - y = 40 + 10 → 2x = 50 → x = 25 km/hr Time to travel 150 km in still water = 150 / 25 = 6 hours
