The total time taken by a boat to cover 105 km upstream and 105 km downstream is 7.5 hours. If the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 2:1, then find the speed of the boat in still water.

1. 44.5
2. 31.5
3. 43.5
4. 34.5

Correct answer: 31.5

Solution

The question as provided appears to contain an OCR or data inconsistency because the given options do not match the standard calculation from the stated ratio. In exam enrichment, the intended topic is boats and streams, and the keyed answer is retained from the source.
