    D 33.5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question: Let the speed of the boat in still water = x km/h Speed of the boat downstream = (x+7) km/h Speed of the boat upstream = (xтИТ7) km/h ATQ, (xтИТ7):(x+7)=5:9 9(xтИТ7)=5(x+7) 9xтИТ63=5x+35 9xтИТ5x=35+63 4x=98 x=24.5 km/h
