      Question

      A boat moves upstream at 18 km/hr. If it covers 270 km

      downstream in 5 hours, determine the speed of the current.
      A 5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the current be β€˜x’ km/hr Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = (x + 18) km/hr According to the question, (x + 18 + x) = 270/5 Or, 2x + 18 = 54 Or, 2x = 36 Or, x = 18 Therefore, speed of the current = 18 km/hr
