    • Question

      A launch goes 120 km with the current in 6 hours. For the

      same trip against the current, it needs 4 hours more. What’s the speed of the boat in still water?
      A 10 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 26 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 16 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 23 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Downstream speed = 120 / 6 = 20

      Upstream speed = 120 / 10 = 12

      V + U = 20

      V – U = 12

      By solving, we get V = (20 + 12) / 2 = 16 km/hr
