    A boat can travel 36 km upstream in 5 hours. If the speed of the stream is 2.4 kmph, how much rime will the boat take to cover a distance of 78 km downstream? (in hours)

    A)  5

    B)  6.5

    C)  5.5

    D)  8

    E)  6

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Rate upstream of boat \[=\frac{36}{5}=7.2\]kmph Speed of current = 2.4 kmph \[\therefore \] Speed of boat in still water = (7.2 + 2.4) kmph = 9.6 kmph \[\therefore \]Rate downstream of boat = (9.6 + 2.4) kmph         =12kmph                \[\therefore \]Time taken in covering 78 \[km=\frac{78}{12}=6.5\]hours
