Q:

Equal distance is covered by a boat in upstream and in downstream in total 5 hours. Sum of speed of a boat in upstream and downstream is 40 km/hr. Speed of boat in still water is 600%
more than the speed of stream. Find theapproximate distance covered by boat in downstream (in km).

A) 45 B) 50
C) 55 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

let speed of boat= X, speed of stream= Y
Upstream speed= X-Y
Downstream speed= X+Y
Sum of upstream & downstream= (X-Y) +(X+Y)= 2X
So, 2X= 40
X= 20 km/hr
Speed of boat : speed of stream= 600+100 :100= 7:1
So speed of Stream= 20/7 km/hr
ATQ, D/( X-Y) + D/( X+Y) = 5
D/(120/7) + D/(160/7)= 5
D= 480×5/49= 48.97 km= 50 Km(approx)
