Ques:- A boat running downstream covers a distance of 16 km in 2 hours while for covering the same distance upstream, it takes 4 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Recent Answer : Added by Anonymous On 2021-08-14 13:06:13:

Let:
1. speed of boat in still water = x
2. speed of stream = y;

Then net speed of boat upstream = x – y = 16km / 4 h = 4kmph
Net speed of boat downstream = x + y = 16 / 2 = 8kmph

Now solve for x to get x = 6kmph in still water.

A. 671
B. 427
C. 385
D. 264
Recent Answer : Added by Manthan Shukla On 2022-03-11 17:00:08:

427 is the answer
Because
385 means (3+5=8) or (8-3=5) ,
462 means (4+2=6) or (6-2=4) ,
572 means (5+2=7) or (7-5=2) ,
396 means (6+3=9) or (9-3=6) ,
671 means (6+1=7) or (7-6=1) ,
264 means (4+2=6) or (6-2=4) ,
but only 427 is the number in which if we do addition of any of its two digits (e.g 4+2 or 4+7) then its answer doesn’t come 3rd digit
like if we do 4+2 then answer will be 6 so the number should be 426 but it is not
or if we do 7-4 then answer will be 3 (not 2)
so the right answer is 427
