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.

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 : 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 boat takes 11 hours to travel a distance upstream and takes 5 hours to travel the same distance downstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is $2 \frac{2}{9}$ m/s, then the speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:
Question : A boat can move upstream at 25 km/hr and downstream at 35 km/hr. What is the speed of the current?
Question : A motorboat, whose speed is 20 km/hr in still water takes 3 hours to cover a distance of 22.5 km upstream and then comes back to its starting point. The speed of the stream (in km/hr ) is:
