    Question



    The total time taken by a boat to cover 30 km upstream and X km downstream in 13 hours. If the speed of the stream is 3 km/hr and the speed of the boat in still water is twice the speed of the stream, then find ‘X’ is what percent of 180.

    A.

    9%

    B.

    12%

    C.

    15%

    D.

    18%

    E.

    21%

    Correct option is C


    Given, Speed of stream=3 km/hr
    So, speed of boat in still water=2×3=6 km/hr
    ATQ,
    30/(6-3) + X/(6+3) = 13
    10+X/9 = 13
    X=3×9
    X=27
    Required percent=27/180 × 100 = 15%
