1. A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream.

  • A. 2 hours
  • B. 2 hours
  • C. 2 hours
  • D. 2 hours

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Downstream speed = speed of boat + speed of stream

= 13 km/hr + 4 km/hr

= 17 km/hr

Now, 17 km goes in 1 hour

1 km goes in 1/17 hour

68 km goes in ( 68×1)/17 hour = 4 hour
