    I. The speed of boat is 16 kmph in still water.
    II. The distance (in km) is half the numerical value of the speed of the boat.
    III. The speed of the stream (in kmph) is \[\frac{1}{4}\] the numerical value of the distance.

    A)  Any two        

    B)     I or II or III

    C)  Either I and II or III   

    D)  All I, II, III

    E)  Both II and III

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    From I, II and III. Speed of boat in still water = 16 kmph Distance covered \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 16=8\,km\] Speed of stream = 2 kmph Speed of boat against the stream = 16 - 2 = 14 kmph \[\therefore \] Time taken\[=\frac{8}{14}hr\]
