  1. 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 ?
    1. 6 km/hr
    2. 15 km/hr
    3. 14 km/hr
    4. 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
