Given:- Speed of boat =18km/hrDistance =24kmLet x be the speed of stream.Let t1 and t2 be the time for upstream and downstream.As we know that,speed=distancetimetime=distancespeedFor upstream,Speed =(18x)km/hrDistance =24kmTime =t1Therefore,t1=2418xFor downstream,Speed =(18+x)km/hrDistance =24kmTime =t2Therefore,t2=2418+xNow according to the question-t1=t2+12418x=2418+x+1118x118+x=124(18+x)(18x)(18x)(18+x)=12448x=(18x)(18+x)48x=324+18x18xx2x2+48x324=0x2+54x6x324=0x(x+54)6(x+54)=0(x+54)(x6)=0x=54 or x=6Since speed cannot be negative.x54x=6Thus the speed of stream is 6km/hrHence the correct answer is 6km/hr.
