Answer : 4. "8:3"
Explanation :
Answer: 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 = 845hrs 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
