Assertion: The time taken by a boat to cover a certain distance upstream is more than the time taken to cover the same distance downstream.

Reason: The speed of the boat is lesser while moving upstream as compared to downstream due to the speed of the stream.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Option A is correct because the effective speed is lower upstream and higher downstream, leading to longer travel time upstream.
