A motorboat registers a speed of 15 km/h in still water. It takes 4 hours to cover a certain distance upstream. If the stream velocity is 3 km/h, find the distance covered.
A. 52 km
B. 44 km
C. 48 km
D. 56 km
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Upstream speed = 15 - 3 = 12 km/h. Distance = Upstream speed * Time = 12 * 4 = 48 km.
Explanation:
Total distance = 60 + 100 = 160 km. Time for first leg = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Time for second leg = 100 / 50 = 2 hours. Total time = 4 hours. Average speed = 160 / 4 = 40 km/h.
