A boat covers a distance of 30 km in 2 ½ hours running downstream while returning it covers the same distance in 3 ¾ hours.
Question 1:
A boat covers a distance of 30 km in 2 ½ hours running downstream while returning it covers the same distance in 3 ¾ hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
A.1/2 km/hr
FeedbackSpeed downstream = (30 x 2/5)km/hr = 12km/hr Speed upstream = (30 x 4/15) km/hr = 8 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = ½ (12 + 8)km/hr = 10 km/hr
B.8km/hr
C.12 km/hr
D.None of these
FeedbackSpeed downstream = (30 x 2/5)km/hr = 12km/hr Speed upstream = (30 x 4/15) km/hr = 8 km/hr Speed of boat in still water = ½ (12 + 8)km/hr = 10 km/hr
