    B 100% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 115% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 112% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of boat ‘A’ upstream = 120/6 = 20 km/h Speed of boat ‘B’ upstream = 120/5 = 24 km/h Speed of the boat ‘A’ in still water = 20 + 20 = 40 km/h Speed of the boat ‘B’ in still water = 24 + 20 = 44 km/h Required percentage = (44/40) × 100 = 110%
