    To go 1 km upstream, a boat takes 50 seconds. Coming back

    the same 1 km downstream takes 40 seconds. Find the boat's speed 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 = (1000 / 50) = 20 m/s

    Speed of boat in downstream = (1000 / 40) = 25 m/s

    Speed of the boat in still water = [(20 + 25) / 2] = 22.5 m/s
