(a) 210
(b) 180
(c) 240
(d) 300

Q-BOAT-23Q.59
The speed of boat in still water is double the speed of stream. If the boat travel a distance of 120 km downstream in 8 hours and after that engine of the boat breakdowns and distance (D) covered by boat at the speed of stream. If total time taken by boat to cover the (120 + D) km distance is 9 hours, then find D.

Q-BOAT-25Q.61
A boat covers (D+30) km downstream in T hours and the same boat covers D km upstream in (T+5) hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 15 km/h, then find the speed of the stream (in km/hr).
