      Question

      A boat takes 14 hours to cover 196 km upstream and 7

      hours to cover the same distance downstream. Find the time taken by the boat to cover 168 km in still water.
      A 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 7 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Upstream speed of the boat = 196 ÷ 14 = 14 km/h And downstream speed of the boat = 196 ÷ 7 = 28 km/h So, speed of the boat in still water = {(28 + 14)/2} = 21 km/h So, required time = (168 ÷ 21) = 8 hours
