Speed of a boat in standing water is 12 kmph and the speed of the stream is 3 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 6300 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:

A1120 hrs

B1000 hrs

C980 hrs

D850 hrs

Answer:

A. 1120 hrs

Read Explanation:

Explanation: 

Downstream speed = (12 + 3) = 15 km/hr

Upstream speed = (12 – 3) = 9 km/hr

Total time taken =630015+63009=\frac{6300}{15}+\frac{6300}{9}

= 420+700 ==> 1120hrs.

The total time by the boat to cover 72 km upstream and 180 km downstream in 16 hours. The total time taken by the same boat to cover 108 km upstream and 126 downstream in 16 hours. If the sum of the upstream speed and downstream speed of the boat is 30 km, then find the speed of the stream.
If time upstream = n × time downstream and speed in still water is 'x' and speed of stream is 'y', then find x : y.
