Question : A boat covers a distance of 12 km in 1 hour upstream and in 45 minutes downstream. Find the speeds of the boat and the stream (in km/hr).
Option 1: 16 and 4
Option 2: 16 and 2
Option 3: 14 and 2
Option 4: 12 and 4
Correct Answer: 14 and 2
Solution : Let the speed of the boat be x km/hr and the speed of the stream be y km/hr. So, downstream speed = x + y = $\frac{12×60}{45}=16$ km/hr............(1) Upstream speed= x – y = 12 km/hr...........(2) By solving the above equations, we get,
