Correct Answer: 106 km
Solution : We know that, Upstream speed = $x - y$ and downstream speed = $x + y$ Where $x$ is the speed of the boat in still water and $y$ is the speed of the stream Given that $x + y = 22$ km/hr and speed of stream $y = 1$ km/hr So, $x = 22 - 1 = 21$ km/hr Distance = Speed × Time Total distance = 3 hours downstream + 2 hours upstream = $3 (x + y) + 2 (x - y)$ = $5x + y$ Putting the value of $x$ and $y$, we get Total distance = 5 × 21 + 1 = 106 km Hence, the correct answer is 106 km.
