A boat takes 1 hour 30 minutes less to travel 36 km downstream than to travel the same distance upstream.
If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr, then the speed of the stream is :
- A 2 km/hr
- B 3 km/hr
- C 3.5 km/hr
- D 4 km/hr
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 2 km/hr
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \frac{36}{10 - v} - \frac{36}{10 + v} = 1.5 \) \( 36 \left( \frac{10 + v - (10 - v)}{(10 - v)(10 + v)} \right) = 1.5 \) \( \frac{72v}{100 - v^2} = 1.5 \) \( 1.5v^2 + 72v - 150 = 0 \) \( v^2 + 48v - 100 = 0 \) \( (v + 50)(v - 2) = 0 \)…

Carboxylic acids are the organic compounds which comprise of carboxyl functional group, -COOH. These are generally found in nature, some higher members are known as fatty acids as they occur in natural fats as esters of glycerol. They can be prepared from oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes, hydrolysis of nitriles and amides and Grignard reagents. They are stronger acids than simple phenols and alcohols. but weaker than mineral acids. Substituents affect the acidity of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids. They undergo reactions involving cleavage of -OH and C-OH bond. Carboxylic acids having an alpha hydrogen get halogenated in the presence of red phosphorus to form alpha halo carboxylic acids. The reaction is known as Hell Volhard Zelinsky reaction. Besides these aromatic carboxylic acids undergo electrophilic substitution reactions. They are versatile and are employed in the manufacture of various useful compounds. For example, methanoic acid is used in rubber, textile, dyeing, leather and electroplating industries. Higher fatty acids are used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents. Esters of Benzoic acid are used in perfumery.
