A) 9 and 3 kmph B) 6 and 7 kmph
C) 8 and 1 kmph D) 7 and 2 kmph

Downstream speed = 72km/8hrs  = 9 kmph
upstream speed = 84km/12hrs = 7 kmph
speed of boat = avg of downstream and upstream speeds
speed of boat = (9+7)/2kmph = 8 kmph.
current speed = half of the difference of downstream and upstream speeds
currend speed = (9-7)/2kmph = 1 kmph

A) 2 yrs B) 12 yrs
