      Question

      If the speed of the current is 4 km/hr and the ratio of

      the speed of the boat in downstream to the speed of the stream is 7:2, what is the distance travelled (in km) upstream in 4 hours?
      A 36 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 24 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 28 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of downstream and speed of stream be 7x and 2x respectively. Speed of current => 2x = 4 => x = 2 km/hr Downstream speed = 7 Γ— 2 = 14 km/h Speed of boat = 14 - 4 = 10 km/hr Upstream speed = 10 - 4 = 6 km/h Distance travelled upstream in 4 hr = 6 Γ— 4 = 24 km
