Solution:
Given: Speed of a boat in still water = 22 km/hr
Speed of the stream = 5 km/hr
Speed of the boat to go downstream = 22 + 5 = 27 km/hr
Distance to be travelled downstream = 54 km
So, Required time = Distance / Speed
T = 54 km / 27 km/hr
T = 2 hours
So, the required time is 2 hours.
The correct option is D). 2 hours
Given: Speed of a boat in still water = 22 km/hr
Speed of the stream = 5 km/hr
Speed of the boat to go downstream = 22 + 5 = 27 km/hr
Distance to be travelled downstream = 54 km
So, Required time = Distance / Speed
T = 54 km / 27 km/hr
T = 2 hours
So, the required time is 2 hours.
The correct option is D). 2 hours
