A person can row a boat d km upstream and the same distance downstream in 5 hours 15 minutes. Also, he can row the boat 2d km upstream in 7 hours. How long will it take to row the same distance 2d km downstream?

  • 13/2 hours
  • 27 hours
  • 329/4 hours
  • 47/2 hours
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let the speeds of boat and stream was S and V km/hr respectively.
Then, Actual Speed Downstream = (S + V) km/hr.
Actual Speed upstream = (S - V) km/hr.
Given,
{d(S+V)}+{d(SV)}=5hrs15minutes=214hours.......(1)and{2d(S+V)}=7.....(2)Now,d(S+V)=74Or,2d(S+V)=72
Hence, he takes 7/2 hours to row 2d km distance downstream.
