      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 โ€“ U = 10

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