Answer : 1. "180 km"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 180 km Explanation: Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr; Speed in upstream = (14 тАУ 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr. Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then, x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 тЗФ x/18 + x/20 = 19 тЗТ x = 180 km.

Answer : 4. "1.5 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 1.5 kmph Explanation: Speed of Boy is B = 4.5 kmph Let the speed of the stream is S = x kmph Then speed in Down Stream = 4.5 + x speed in Up Stream = 4.5 - x As the distance is same, => 4.5 + x = (4.5 - x)2 => 4.5 + x = 9 -2x 3x = 4.5 x = 1.5 kmph
