      3 hrs and covering the same distance upstream in 12 hrs. What is the speed of a boat in still water?

      C 5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 8 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Downstream speed = 48/3 = 16 km/hr Upstream speed = 48/12 = 4 km/hr So speed of boat in still water = (16 + 4)/2 = 10 km/hr
