The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/h. If its speed downstream is 18 km/h, the distance travelled by the boat upstream in 5 hours is : |
8 km 10 km 20 km 16 km |
10 km |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 10 km Let the speed of the stream be $x$ km/hr Downstream speed = $10+x=18$ $⇒x=8km/hr$ Upstream speed = $10-8=2km/hr$ Distance = Speed × Time $=2×5=10km$ |
