    Question

    If the ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of

    stream is 4:1, speed of current is 5 km per hr, What would be the distance travelled in upstream by the boat in 2 hours?
    A 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 72 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 140 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 4 : 1 Given Speed of current = 5 km/ h Speed of boat in downstream = 4 × 5 = 20 km/h Speed of boat in still water = Speed of boat in downstream – Speed of current = 20 – 5 = 15 km/h Speed of boat in upstream = 15 – 5 = 10 km/h Distance travelled by boat in upstream in 2 hours = 10 × 2 = 20 km
