Question

The pie charts represent the distances covered by a boat moving upstream and downstream over seven days of a week. The total distance covered upstream is 1800 km1800 \text{ km} and downstream is 1500 km1500 \text{ km}. The percentages of distances covered each day are as follows:

The table below shows the speed of the stream (in km/hr) on different days:

Saturday-

The speed of the boat in still water on Saturday was 21 km/hr21 \text{ km/hr}. On Sunday, the speed of the boat in still water was 2847%\frac{284}{7}% less than that on Saturday. If the time taken by the boat to travel upstream on Saturday is 1316\frac{13}{16} times the time taken to travel downstream on Sunday, then find the time taken by the boat to cover a distance of 57.6 km57.6 \text{ km} upstream when the speed of the stream is the same as that on Saturday.
