      Question

      A boat goes 240 km downstream in 12 hours, and 160 km

      upstream in 16 hours. The speed of the stream is  
      A 10 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Distance downstream= 240 km Time taken to row downstream = 12 hrs. therefore, speed downstream = 240/12 = 20 km/hr Distance upstream = 160 km Time taken to row upstream = 16 hrs therefore, speed upstream = 160/16 = 10 km/hr therefore, speed of the stream = 1/2 (20 - 10) = 5 km/hr
