    A 9(4/5) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7(1/3) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6(3/4) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4(1/3) hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of the boat in still water = 32 km/hr And the speed of the current = 5 km/hr Time = 3 hours 10 minutes = 19/6 hrs Downstream speed = 32 + 5 = 37 km/hr Upstream speed = 32 – 5 = 27 km/hr Distance = Downstream speed × Downstream time Distance = [37 × (19/6)] km Upstream time = Distance / Upstream speed Upstream time = [37 × (19/6)]/27 = `4(1/3)` hrs
