    Question

    Speed of a boat in still water is 13 km/h. Speed of water current is 4 km/h. In what time can the boat cover 68 km upstream?

    A.

    8 hours

    B.

    7 hours 33 minutes

    C.

    4 hours

    D.

    7 hours

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Speed of boat in still water = 13 km/h
    Speed of stream = 4 km/h

    Formula Used:

    Upstream speed = (Speed of the boat) - (Speed of the stream)

    Time = Distance/Speed
    Solution:
    Speed of boat in upstream = (13 – 4 ) = 9 km/h
    Time taken by boat to cover 68 km upstream = 68/9 = 7 hours + 5/9 hour 

    =7 hours+59×60 minutes=7 hours 33.33 minutes= 7 \text{ hours} + \frac{5}{9} \times 60 \text{ minutes} \\= 7 \text{ hours} \, 33.33 \text{ minutes}​​
