    Two boats A and B start towards each other from two places, 108 km apart. Speeds of the boats A and B in still water are 12 km/h and 15 km/h respectively. If A proceeds down and B up the stream, they will meet after.

    A) 4.5 h                

    B) 4 h

    C) 5.4 h                            

    D) 6 h

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the speed of the stream be x km/h and both the boats meet after t h According to the question,             \[(12+x)t+(15-x)t=108\] ?(i) \[\Rightarrow \]   \[12t+15t=108\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[27t=108\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[t=\frac{108}{27}=4\,h\]
