The speed of a boat downstream is 15 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 1.5 km/hr. The speed of the boat upstream is ?
-
- 13.5 km/hr
- 16.5 km/hr
- 12 km/hr
- 8.25 km/hr
Correct Option: C
Let the speed of boat in still water be x km/hr
Then, x + 1.5 = 15
⇒ x = 13.5
∴ Speed upstream = (13.5 - 1.5) km/hr = 12 km/hr
