Question
A boat takes 8 hours to cover 144 km in downstream. If
the ratio of still water speed to downstream speed of boat is 2:3 respectively, then find the time taken by the boat to cover 96 km in upstream.Solution
Downstream speed of the boat = (144/8) = 18 km/hr
Let the downstream speed and still water speed of boat be 3x km/hr and 2x km/hr
ATQ,
3x = 18
So, 'x' = 6
Speed of boat in still water = 2 × 6 = 12 km/hr
Speed of stream = 18 - 12 = 6 km/hr
So, upstream speed of boat = 12 - 6 = 6 km/hr
Therefore, required time = (96/6) = 16 hours
