    A boat goes 75 km upstream in 3 hours and 60 km downstream in 1.5 hours. The speed of the boat in still water is:

    A)  32.5 kmph  

    B)  30 kmph

    C)  65 kmph

    D)  60 kmph 

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Rate upstream of boat \[=\frac{75}{3}=25\]kmph Rate downstream of boat \[=\frac{60}{1.5}=40\]kmph \[\therefore \] Speed of boat in still water\[=\frac{1}{2}(25+40)\] \[=\left( \frac{1}{2}\times 65 \right)kmph\] \[=32.5\,kmph\]
