In one hour, a boat goes 19 km/hr along the stream and 9 km/hr against the stream. The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr) is:  Choose the correct choice:
A) 12 kmph
B) 13 kmph
C) 14 kmph
D) 15 kmph
E) 16 kmph
Explanation:   Let the speed downstream be a km/hr and the speed upstream be b km/hr, then   Speed in still water =1/2(a+b) km/hr   Rate of stream = 1/2(a−b) km/hr   Speed in still water = 1/2(19+9) kmph = 14 kmph.   Answer: Option 14 kmph
