Question:

The speed of a boat in still water in 15 km/hr and the speed of stream is 5 km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 12 minutes is?

Options:

8 km

5 km

4.8 km

4 km

Correct Answer:

4 km

Explanation:

ATQ,

       Downstream speed = 15 + 5 = 20 km/hr.

                         Distance = speed x time

                                      = 20 x \(\frac{12}{60}\) = 4 km.
