    Question

    A boat travels 140 km with the flow in 7 hours. For the

    upstream journey over the same distance, the time taken is 7 hours more. Determine 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 15 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 23 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Downstream speed = 140 / 7 = 20

    Upstream speed = 140 / 14 = 10

    V + U = 20

    V – U = 10

    By solving, we get V = (20 + 10) / 2 = 15 km/hr
