Q:

A motorboat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the motorboat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 3:7 B) 7:9
C) 5:4 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

x x 8 4 = (y x 4)
5
44 x =4y
5
 y = 11 x.
5
 Required ratio = y + x : y - x
2 2
   = 16x x 1 : 6x x 1
5 2 5 2
   = 8 : 3
5 5

   = 8 : 3.
