      Question

      The speed of a boat in still water is 11 km/hr and the

      speed of the stream is 3 km/hr. A man rows to a place at a distance of 56 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:
      A 8 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 13 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 11 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 14 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate downstream = (11 + 3) kmph = 14 kmph Rate upstream = (11 – 3) kmph = 8 kmph According to the question, Time = Distance/Speed Hence, Required time = 56/14 + 56/8 = 4 + 7 = 11 hours
