Solution

The correct option is D 63

As the distance is kept constant, time is inversely proportional to speed and hence the time taken is in HM. Let the time required for rowing in still water be x, then rowing time down with stream will be x-9 , x is the HM of 84 and x-9 . Therefore x= 72 required time = x – 9 = 63; option(d).
