    A boat takes 2 hrs. to travel 8 km and back in still water lake with water velocity of 4 km/hr, then the time taken for going upstream of 8 km and coming back is

    A)  120 min

    B)  160mm  

    C)  200 min

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let \[{{v}_{1}}\] be the velocity of boat in still water Then     \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{8+8}{2}=8\,\,km/hr\] Velocity of water,\[{{v}_{2}}=4\,\,mk/hr\] Time taken for going upstream and back,             \[t=\frac{8}{{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}}+\frac{8}{{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}}\]             \[=\frac{8}{8-4}+\frac{8}{8+4}\]             \[=\frac{8}{3}hrs=\frac{8}{3}\times 60\]             \[=\mathbf{160}\,\,\mathbf{min}\]
