Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let the speed of the current $ =xkm/h $

$ \therefore $ Rate downstream $ =(x+45)km/h $ According to the question, $ \frac{80}{x+45}=1h20\min =\frac{4}{3}h $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x+180=240 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4x=240-180=60 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{60}{4}=15km/h $ Rate upstream $ =45-15=30km/h $

$ \therefore $ Required time $ =\frac{80}{30}h=2h40\min $
