Question

The upstream speed of a boat is 15 km/hr and the ratio of time taken by the boat to cover 105 km upstream and 108 km downstream 7 : 6 respectively. Find the speed of stream (in km/hr)?

A.

1.5

B.

5

C.

4

D.

7

E.

1

Correct option is A

Time taken by boat to cover 105 km upstream = 105/15 = 7 hours

So, time taken by boat to cover 108 km downstream = 7 ×6/7= 6 hours

So, downstream speed of boat = 108/6 = 18 km/hr

Speed of stream = (18 - 15)/2 = 1.5 km/hr
