      Question

      To go 75 km downstream, a boat takes 5 hours. For the

      same 75 km upstream, it takes 10 hours more than that. What is the boat’s still-water speed?
      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 = 75 / 5 = 15

      Upstream speed = 75 / 15 = 5

      V + U = 15

      V – U = 5

      By solving, we get V = (15 + 5) / 2 = 10 km/hr
