Question

    Ratio of speed of boat in downstream and speed of stream is 7:3, if speed of current is 9 km/hr, then find distance travelled (in km) upstream in 6 hours.

    A 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 84 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of downstream and speed of stream be 7x and 3x respectively. Speed of current => 3x = 9 => x = 3 km/hr Downstream speed = 7 × 3 = 21 km/h Speed of boat = 21 - 3 = 18 km/hr Upstream speed = 18 - 3 = 15 km/h Distance travelled upstream in 6 hr = 15 × 6 = 90 km
