Multiple choice

Upstream speed is 6 km/hr less than the downstream speed. The speed of the boat is 21 km/hr. Find the time (in hour) to cover the distance of 108 km in the upstream. उर्ध्वप्रवाह चाल अनुप्रवाह चाल से 6 किमी / घंटा कम है। नाव की गति 21 किमी / घंटा है। उर्ध्वप्रवाह में 108 किमी की दूरी तय करने के लिए समय (घंटे में) ज्ञात करें?

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let stream speed = x km/hr. Then downstream speed = 21 + x and upstream speed = 21 - x. Given: (21 + x) - (21 - x) = 6 → 2x = 6 → x = 3 km/hr. Upstream speed = 21 - 3 = 18 km/hr. Time to cover 108 km upstream = 108/18 = 6 hours. Option C is correct.
