Answer : 2. "2.7 hrs"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2.7 hrs Explanation: Let Speed of boat in still water = b Let Speed of still water = w Then we know that, Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water Given, U + D = 82 b - w + b + w = 82 2b = 82 => b = 41 kmph From the given data, 41 - w = 105/3 = 35 w = 6 kmph Now, b + w = 126/t => 41 + 6 = 126/t => t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.
