  4. D \(\frac{5}{4} km / hr\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{11}{2} km / hr\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_{against} = \frac{72}{24} = 3 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{with} = \frac{72}{9} = 8 \text{ km/hr}\) \(2v_{boat} = v_{against} + v_{with} = 3 + 8 = 11 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_{boat} = \frac{11}{2} \text{ km/hr}\)
