    B 12 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Speed of boat ‘A’ in still water = 160/8 = 20 km/hr Speed of boat ‘B’ in still water = 20 × (3/4) = 15 km/hr Downstream speed of boat ‘B’ = 15 + 3 = 18 km/hr Time taken by boat ‘B’ to cover 234 km in downstream = 234/18 = 13 hours
