    E 12 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of stream be ‘x’ km/h and they meet after‘t’ hours According to question, Distance covered while going upstream + Distance covered while going downstream = Total distance covered. (30 - x)t + (25 + x)t = 660 30t + 25t = 660 55t = 660 t = 12 hours
