Question
A boatman goes $2 \mathrm{~km}$ against the current of the stream in $1 \mathrm{hr}$ and goes $1 \mathrm{~km}$ along the current in $10 \mathrm{~min}$. How long will he take to go $5 \mathrm{~km}$ in stationary water?(a) $1 \mathrm{hr}$(b) $1 \mathrm{hr} 15 \mathrm{~min}$(c) $1 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{hr}$(d) $40 \mathrm{~min}$
Step 1
The boatman goes \(2 \mathrm{~km}\) against the current in \(1 \mathrm{~hr}\). Therefore, his speed against the current is: \[ \text{Speed against current} = \frac{2 \mathrm{~km}}{1 \mathrm{~hr}} = 2 \mathrm{~km/hr} \] Show more…
