      Question

      A boat covers a distance of 900 metres upstream in 36

      seconds and the same distance downstream in 24 seconds. Find the speed of the boat in still water.
      A 31.25 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 22.5 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 11.29 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45.5 m/s Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Speed of boat in upstream = (900 / 36) = 25 m/s

      Speed of boat in downstream = (900 / 24) = 37.5 m/s

      Speed of the boat in still water = [(25 + 37.5) / 2] = 31.25 m/s
