Q:

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current respectively?

 A) 7:4 B) 11:4 C) 4:7 D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = $845$hrs

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

Distance in both the cases is same.

=> p x  $845$= q x 4

=> 44p/5 = 4q

=> q = 11p/5

Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

$q+p2:q-p2$

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

=> 8 : 3
