    Question


    The speed of boat A in still water is 4 times the speed of stream and covers 24 km upstream in 8 hours. If the speed of boat B in still water is 2 kmph more than the speed of boat A in downstream, then find the time (in minutes) taken by boat B to cover the same distance in upstream.

    A.

    210

    B.

    180

    C.

    240

    D.

    300

    E.

    360

    Correct option is C


    Let the speed of stream be x kmph.
    So, Speed of boat A in still water=4×x=4x kmph
    ATQ,
    24/(4x-x)=8
    x=1
    So, speed of stream=x=1 kmph
    Speed of boat B in still water=5x+2=5×1+2=7 kmph
    Required time=24/(7-1)=4 hours=4×60=240 minutes
