    C 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance in downstream = 8km Time taken = 6 hours Rate of downstream (a) = distance/time┬а =┬а 4/3 km/hr Distance covered in upstream = 4km Time taken = 4 hours Rate of upstream (b) = distance/time┬а =┬а ┬а1km/hr Speed in still water = 1/2(a+b) = 1/2(4/3+1)┬а = 7/6 km/hr┬а Time taken to cover (14km) in still water = distance/time = 14/(7/6) = 12 hours
