Correct Answer: 6 hours


Solution : The speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.
The speed of the boat is 11 km/hr.
Upstream Speed = Speed of boat –Speed of stream
= 11 – 4 = 7 km/h
Upstream distance = 21 km
Time = $\frac{21}{7}$ = 3 hrs
Downstream Speed = Speed of boat + Speed of stream
= 11 + 4 = 15 km/h
Downstream distance = 45 km
Time = $\frac{45}{15}$ = 3 hrs
Total time = 3 + 3 = 6 hrs
Hence, the correct answer is 6 hours.
