  1. A man can row 15km/ hr downstream and 9 km/hr upstream. The speed of the boat in still water is
    1. 8 km/hr.
    2. 10 km/hr.
    3. 15 km/hr.
    4. 12 km/ hr
Correct Option: D

Given that , Rate downstream = 15 kmph
Rate upstream = 9 kmph
We know that ,

Speed of boat in still water =
1
(Rate downstream + Rate upstream) =
1
(15 + 9)
22

Speed of boat in still water =
1
× 24 = 12 kmph
