    The speed of a boat in still water is 16km/h and the speed of the current is 2 km/h. The distance travelled by the boat from point A to point B downstream is 12 km more than the distance covered by the same boat from point B to point C upstream in the same time. How much time will the boat take to travel from C to B downstream

  • 3 hour
  • 2 hour 30 min
  • 3 hour 20 min
  • 2 hour 20 min
  • 2 hour
  • Explanation:

    Downstream speed of boat = (16+2) = 18 km/h

    Upstream speed of boat = (16-2) = 14 km/h

    Let BC = x km

    and AB = (x+12)km

    According to question,

    x+12/18=x/14

    14x+168 = 18x

    4x=168

    x= 42km

    Time taken to travel 42 km downstream 

    = 42/18 = 7/3

    = 2 hour 20 min
