A boat takes 20 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and comes back to a midpoint C between A and B. The speed of the stream is 5 km/h and the speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/h. Find the distance between A and B (in km).

  1. A.100
  2. B.75
  3. C.150
  4. D.120✓ Correct

Explanation

Downstream speed=15, upstream speed=5. Let AB=x km. x/15 + x/10 = 20 → (2x+3x)/30 = 20 → x = 120 km.
