Question


A boat leaves it's dock and travels upstream at a speed of 40 km/hr and then returns to the dock. What is the speed of the stream if they average speed of the entire trip is 60 km/hr?


Options:
A .   20 km/hr
B .   30 km/hr
C .   50 km/hr
D .   None of these
E .   23
Answer: Option D
:
D

Speed of stream = x.
Speed of boat = b.
Given, b - x = 40.
Also,
2[(b+x)(bx)](b+x+bx)=602(b+x)(40)2b=60.
Solving we get  b= 2x.
2x - x = 40 , x = 40 (d).
