  1. A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of stream is 4 km/hr in the same direction, time taken by boat to go 63 km in opposite direction is
    1. 9 hrs
    2. 4 hrs
    3. 7 hrs
    4. 3
      9
      hrs
      17
Correct Option: B

Given that , speed of stream = 4 km/h
speed of boat = 13 km/h
Rate upstream of boat = 13 – 4 = 9 kmph
Distance = 63 km

∴ Required time =
Distance
Speed

∴ Required time =
63
= 7 hours
9

We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
∴ Speed =
Distance
Time
