A boat goes 14 km upstream in 56 minutes. The speed of stream is 2 km/hr. The speed of boat in still water is ?
-
- 6 km/hr
- 15 km/hr
- 14 km/hr
- 17 km/hr
Correct Option: D
∵ Speed upstream = 14 x (60/56) = 15 km/hr
Speed in upstream = Speed in still water - Speed of stream.
⇒ x - 2 = 15
∴ x = 17 km/hr
