Detailed Solution

Given:
Distance covered by motor boat=15km
Time taken to cover 15km=5hours

To find: The time taken when it covers 10km
First, we have to find the speed of the boat

We know that

Speed = DistanceTime

So, the Speed of the boat =155=3km/hr

Now, time taken to cover 30 km = distancespeed=303hr

                                                              =10hr

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
