Practicing Success
Vijay rows a boat 80 km along the stream in 1 hour 20 minutes. Given that his rowing speed in still water is 45 km/hr, in how much time will he cover the same distance against the stream?

4 hours 3 hours 10 minutes 2 hours 40 minutes 2 hours 30 minutes |
2 hours 40 minutes |
Let, Speed of boat in still water be x = 45 km/hr Speed of stream/ current be y Downstream speed i.e. x + y = \(\frac{80 }{4/3 }\) = 60 km/hr Speed of current i.e. y = 60 - 45 = 15 km/hr Upstream speed i.e. x - y = 45 - 15 = 30 km/hr Time = \(\frac{80 }{30 }\) = 2 hour 40 min |
