Option 5 : If the data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

Using statement I

Speed of stream = 5 km/hr

The ratio of downstream speed and upstream speed of Sudesh is 4 ∶ 3

⇒ (B + S)/(B – S) = 4/3

B → Speed of boat

S → Speed of stream

∴ (B + 5)/(B – 5) = 4/3

⇒ 3B + 15 = 4B – 20

⇒ B = 35 km/hr

∴ Speed of Sudesh = 35 km/hr

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using statement II

Kantesh's boat is 20% slower than Sudesh's boat

⇒ Let the speed of Sudesh be x km/hr

Then, speed of Kantesh = (80/100) × x = 4x/5

The midpoint between their location and destination is 66 km

Total distance between location and destination = 66 × 2 = 132

∴ Distance travelled by Kantesh to complete the journey

⇒ {132/(4x/5 + S)} + {132/(4x/5 – S)} = t₁

where S → Speed of current

Distance travelled by Sudesh to complete the journey

⇒ {132/(x + S)} + {132/(x – S)} = t₂

Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using statement I and statement II together

Speed of Sudesh = 35 km/hr, Speed of Kantesh = (4/5) × 35 = 28 km/hr

Total distance travelled = 132 km/hr

Distance travelled by Kantesh to complete the journey

⇒ {132/(28 + 5)} + {132/(28 – 5)} = 4 + 5.739 = 9.739 ≈ 9.74 hr

Distance travelled by Kantesh to complete the journey

⇒ {132/(35 + 5)} + {132/(35 – 5)} = 3,3 + 4.4 = 7.7 hr

∴ Difference in time = 9.74 – 7.7 = 2.04 hrs

∴ The data in both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.
