Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Boat covers distance of 16km in a still water in 2 hours. i.e. $ v _{B}=\frac{16}{2}=8km/hr $ N

ow velocity of water
$ \Rightarrow v _{w}=4km/hr $ .

Time taken for going upstream

$ t_1=\frac{8}{v _{B}-v _{w}} $

$ =\frac{8}{8-4}=2hr $

(As water current oppose the motion of boat)

Time taken for going down stream $ t_2=\frac{8}{v _{B}+v _{w}} $

$ =\frac{8}{8+4}=\frac{8}{12}hr $

(As water current helps the motion of boat)

$ \therefore $ Total time $ =t_1+t_2=( 2+\frac{8}{12} )hr $ or 2hr 40min
