Correct Answer: 3 hours


Solution : Given: The speed of the boat in still water is 11 km/hr.
The speed of the stream is 7 km/hr.
Downstream speed of the boat = Boat's speed + Stream's speed = 11 + 7 = 18 km/hr
The time to travel 54 km in downstream $=\frac{54}{18}=3$ hours
​​​​​​​Hence, the correct answer is 3 hours.
