Q1.
The following table shows the distance travelled by a boat moving upstream (in km) during five different days of a week from Monday to Friday, along with the speed of boat (in km/hour), speed of stream (in km/hour) and total time taken (in hours). Some data is missing in the table (indicated as "-") that you are expected to calculate, if required. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow. Day - Wise Distance covered by a Boat and other Details Note : (1) Distance Upstream = Distance Downstream, if not stated otherwise (2) Total Time Taken = Downstream Time + Upstream TimeDays Distance Upstream(km) Speed of Boat (km/hour) Speed of Stream (km/hour) Total TimeTaken (hours) Monday 320 - 4 - Tuesday - - - 75 Wednesday 270 - 6 - Thursday - 11 7 - Friday 324 - - 72
On Friday, if the ratio of speed of boat to speed of stream is 2 ∶ 1, then what is the difference between the time taken by the boat to go upstream and to go downstream?
