A boat goes at 16 kmph along the stream and kmph against the stream. The speed of the boat (in kmph) in still water is :10

A12 kmph

B11 kmph

C13 kmph

D8 kmph

Answer:

C. 13 kmph

Read Explanation:

Given:

Rate of Downstream = 16 kmph

Rate of Upstream = 10 kmph

calculation:

Speed of boat in still water = 12\frac{1}{2}(rate downstream + rate upstream)

=12(16+10)=13kmph.=\frac{1}{2}(16 + 10) = 13 kmph.
