Question 1:
Speed of a boat in standing water is 9 kmph and the speed of the stream is 1.5 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 105 km and comes back to the starting point.
The total time taken by him is:
A. 24 hours
Feedback Distance = 105 km
Speed upstream = 7.5 kmph.
Speed downstream = 10.5 kmph.
Total time taken = Distance / Speed inupstream + Speed indownstream
= ( 105 / 7.5) + (105 / 10.5 ) hours
= 14 + 10
= 24 hours.
Total time taken by him = 24 hours.
B. 20 hours
