    C 15 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of boat in still water and speed of boat in upstream be тАШ13xтАЩ km/h and тАШ10xтАЩ km/h, respectively. Speed of stream = 13x тАУ 10x = 3x km/h Speed of boat in downstream = 13x + 3x = 16x km/h So, 16x = 320/5 = 64 Or, x = 4 Speed of boat in still water = 13 ├Ч 4 = 52 km/h Desired time = 13/52 = 15 minutes
