The correct Answer is:
B

माना कि शांत जल में नाव की चाल xkm/hr तथा धारा की चाल y km /hr है।
अनुप्रवाह में,
4 m में 1 km जाती है।
`therefore `60 m में `60/4 = 15 km `जाती है।
`implies x + y = 15 ....................(i)`
उर्ध्वप्रवाह में,
10 m में 1 km जाती है
`therefore 60 m `में `60/10 = 6 km` जाती है।
`implies x - y = 6 " " .........(ii) `
समी. (i) - समी. (ii)) करने पर
`x + y - x + y = 15 -6`
`implies 2y = 9`
`implies y = 4.5 km//hr`
