      Question

      A motorboat covers 96 km downstream in 4 hours. Coming back

      upstream over the same distance, it takes 8 hours longer than the downstream time. Find 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 = 96 / 4 = 24

      Upstream speed = 96 / 12 = 8

      V + U = 24

      V – U = 8

      By solving, we get V = (24 + 8) / 2 = 16 km/hr
