Question 55

If the speed of a boat in still water is 20 km/hr and the speed of the current is 5 km/hr, then the time taken by the boat to travel 100 km with the current is

Solution

Speed of boat = 20 km/hr and speed of current = 5 km/hr

Distance to travel = 100 km

Speed downstream (with the current) = 20 + 5 = 25 km/hr

=> Time taken = distance / speed

= $$\frac{100}{25}=4$$ hours

=> Ans - (C)
