  1. A 5 km/hr
  2. B 1 km/hr
  3. C 6 km/hr
  4. D 4 km/hr
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5 km/hr

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{upstream} = \frac{24 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ hr}} = 4 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{downstream} = \frac{36 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ hr}} = 6 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{boat} = \frac{v_{downstream} + v_{upstream}}{2}\) \(v_{boat} = \frac{6 \text{ km/hr} + 4 \text{ km/hr}}{2}\)…
