A boat takes 6 hr 25 minutes to row upstream a certain distance with a speed which is 14.4 times that of the river current. The time taken by the boat to row down the same distance with same speed is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Let current speed =c= c. Boat speed in still water =14.4c= 14.4c. Upstream speed =13.4c= 13.4c, downstream =15.4c= 15.4c. Time downstream =6h25m×13.415.4=385×6777= 6\text{h}25\text{m} \times \frac{13.4}{15.4} = 385 \times \frac{67}{77} min =5×67=335= 5 \times 67 = 335 min =5h35m= 5\text{h}35\text{m}.
