Speed of a boat in standing water is 9 kmph and the speed of the stream is 1.5 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 105 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:


A. 16 hours
B. 18 hours
C. 20 hours
D. 24 hours

Answer & Explanation:

Answer: Option D

Explanation: Speed upstream = 7.5 kmph.

Speed downstream = 10.5 kmph.

Total time taken = 105/7.5 + 105/10.5 hours = 24 hours.

A. 2 : 1
B. 3 : 1
C. 3 : 2
D. 4 : 3
