Correct Answer: 4 hr
Solution : Given, Speed of boat in still water = 15 km Speed of stream = 5 km/hr Speed of Downstream = Speed of boat + Speed of stream = 15 + 5 = 20 km/hr We know, Time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ $\therefore$ Time taken = $\frac{80}{20}$ = 4 hr Hence, the correct answer is 4 hr.
