Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Given, a boat goes 12 km along the stream and 8 km against the stream in an hour. So, the speed of the boat along the stream, $s_1$ = 12 km/hr And, the speed of the boat against the stream, $s_2$ = 8 km/hr Now, the Speed of the boat = $\frac{1}{2}(s_1 + s_2)$ = $\frac{1}{2}(12+8)$ = $10$ km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 10.
