Correct Answer: 7 hours


Solution : Downstream speed of a boat = 25 km/hr
Distance travelled downstream = 100 km
$\therefore$ Time taken to travel downstream = $\frac{100}{25}$ = 4 hours
Speed of a stream = 3 km/hr
The upstream speed of the boat = 25 – (2 × 3) = 19 km/hr
Distance travelled upstream = 57 km
$\therefore$ Time taken to travel upstream = $\frac{57}{19}$ = 3 hours
Total time taken = 4 + 3 = 7 hours
Hence, the correct answer is 7 hours.
