Correct Answer: 18 hours
Solution : The upstream speed = 9 – 6 = 3 km/hr The downstream speed = 9 + 6 = 15 km/hr The time taken to travel 45 km upstream = $\frac{45}{3}$ = 15 hours The time taken to travel 45 km downstream = $\frac{45}{15}$ = 3 hours Therefore, the total time taken by the man to go 45 km against the stream and come back to the starting point is 15 + 3 = 18 hours Hence, the correct answer is 18 hours.
