Q:
A) 2.8 hrs | B) 2.7 hrs |
C) 2.6 hrs | D) 2.5 hrs |
Answer: B) 2.7 hrs
Explanation:
Explanation:
Let Speed of boat in still water = b
Let Speed of still water = w
Then we know that,
Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water
Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water
Given, U + D = 82
b - w + b + w = 82
2b = 82
=> b = 41 kmph
From the given data,
41 - w = 105/3 = 35
w = 6 kmph
Now,
b + w = 126/t
=> 41 + 6 = 126/t
=> t = 126/47 = 2.68 hrs.
