Speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/hr. It takes total 20 hrs to cover a distance of 91 km in upstream and 91 km in downstream. Find speed of current. |
07 km/hr 05 km/hr 04 km/hr 03 km/hr |
03 km/hr |
Let speed of current = v km/hr Speed of boat in downstream = (10 + v) km/hr Speed of boat in upstream = (10 - v) km/hr ATQ, \(\frac{91}{10\;+\;v}\) - \(\frac{91}{10\;-\;v}\) = 20 Now, check from option, nearest value which can divide 91 easily when adding and subtracting with 10. Hence, 3 is the option which satisfy the equation. |
