Boats and Streams

Question:

Speed of a boat in still water is 8 km/h. If the speed of stream is 2 km/h, then how much distance can the boat travel in two hours going up stream?

Options:

16 km

14 km

20 km

12 km

Correct Answer:

12 km

Explanation:

Speed of a boat in still water = 8 km/h

The speed of stream = 2 km/h

Speed of a boat in upstream = 8 – 2 = 6 km/h

Distance = speed × time = 6 × 2 = 12 km
