Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Let the speed of the boat be $x$ km/hr. The speed of the current is $y$ km/hr. Speed of boat along the current = Speed of boat + Speed of current $x+y$ = 10 km/hr ----(1) Speed of boat against the current = Speed of boat – Speed of current $x-y$ = 8 km/hr ----(2) Solving (1) and (2), we get, $x$ = 9 km/hr and $y$ = 1 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 1.
