Option 4 : Statement II and either Statement I or Statement III are sufficient to answer the question.
Suppose the speed of boat in still water and speed of the current is ‘a’ and ‘b’;
Statement I:
2D/(a + b) = D/(a – b)
⇒ a + b = 2a – 2b
⇒ a = 3b ---- (1)
Statement III:
Speed of the boat in still water is three times the speed of the current;
∴ a = 3b ---- (2)
Here we can see that Statement I and III both are giving the same information.
Statement II:
The boat goes 720 meters in 1 hour downstream;
∴ (a + b) × 60 = 720
⇒ (a + b) = 12
Now with the help of statement I or II, we can get the value of ‘a’ i.e. the speed of the boat.
∴ Statement II and either Statement I or Statement III are sufficient to answer the question.
