    C 6(3/4) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4(1/3) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of the boat in still water = 30 km/hr And the speed of the current = 7 km/hr Time = 4 hours 12 minutes = 21/5 hrs Downstream speed = 30 + 7 = 37 km/hr Upstream speed = 30 – 7 = 23 km/hr Distance = Downstream speed × Downstream time Distance = [37 × (21/5)] km Upstream time = Distance / Upstream speed Upstream time = [37 × (21/5)]/23 = `6(3/4)` hrs
