12. The speed of a motor boat is 20 km/hr. For covering the distance of 15 km the boat
took 1 hour more for upstream than downstream.
(a) Let speed of the stream be x km/hr. then speed of the motorboat in upstream will
be
(i) 20 km/hr (ii) (20 + x) km/hr (iii) (20–x) km/hr (iv) 2 km/hr
(c) Which is the correct quadratic equation for the speed of the current ?
(i) x2 + 30x − 200 = 0 (ii) x2 + 20x − 400 = 0
(iii) x2 + 30x − 400 = 0 (iv) x2 − 20x − 400 = 0
