Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Given: A boat goes 10 km upstream in 50 minutes. The speed of the stream is 3 kmph. Upstream speed in km/h = $\frac{10}{50}×60=12$ kmph Let the speed of a boat in still water be $x$ kmph. We know that, Upstream speed = speed of the boat in still water – speed of the stream ⇒ $12=x–3$ ⇒ $x=12+3=15$ kmph Hence, the correct answer is 15.

Question : In one hour, a boat goes 12 km along the stream and 8 km against the stream. What is the speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr)?
Question : The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water to the speed of the stream is 8 : 3 and the boat can travel 22 km downstream in 24 minutes. Then, how much time will the boat take to cover 50 km upstream?
Question : A ship goes at 18 km/hr downstream and at 16 km/hr upstream. What will be the speed of the ship in still water?
Question : The downstream speed of a boat is 25 km/ hr and the speed of a stream is 3 km/hr. What will be the total time taken by the boat to cover 100 km downstream and 57 km upstream?
Question : Speed of stream is 4 km/hr and the speed of boat is 11 km/hr. In how much time will the boat cover a distance of 21 km upstream and 45 km downstream?
