In one hour a boat goes 14 km along the stream and 6 km against it. What is the speed of the stream ?

  • A.3 km/hr
  • B.4 km/hr
  • C.5 km/hr
  • D.6 km/hr

Answer: A

Correct answer: 4 km/hr

The two figures are the downstream and upstream speeds directly, since each is covered in one hour.

\[s = \frac{14 - 6}{2} = 4 \text{ km/hr}\]

\[b = \frac{14 + 6}{2} = 10 \text{ km/hr}\]
