Quantitative Aptitude

1. Two boats P and Q are travelling in Yamuna river from point A and B respectively. Boat P is travelling from
A to B while Q is travelling from B to A. The speed of boat ‘P’ in still water is 66⅔% more than the upstream speed of boat Q. Yamuna river is flowing from A to B with a speed of 2 km/hr. If distance between A and B is 48 km and both meets to each other at 32 km distance from point A, then how much distance boat Q will travel in that time in which P reaches to bank B?… (3)
