  • A boat takes 2 hours to travel from point A to B in still water.
Question 1:
A boat takes 2 hours to travel from point A to B in still water. To find out its speed upstream, which of the following information is/are required?
A. Distance between point A and B.
B. Time taken to travel downstream from B to A.
C. Speed of the stream of water.
A. Only A and B
B. Only B and C
C. All are required
D. Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient
Feedback Let distance between A & B = d km
Let speed in still water = x kmph
Let speed of current = y kmph
from the given data,
d/x = 2
From A) we get d
From B) we get d/x+y
From C) we get y
So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
