Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Boat covers distance of 16km in a still water in 2 hours. i.e. vB=162=8km/hr N

ow velocity of water
vw=4km/hr .

Time taken for going upstream

t1=8vBvw

=884=2hr

(As water current oppose the motion of boat)

Time taken for going down stream t2=8vB+vw

=88+4=812hr

(As water current helps the motion of boat)

Total time =t1+t2=(2+812)hr or 2hr 40min
