In a bacterial operon, which is located downstream of the structural genes? Correct Answer regulatory gene

In a bacterial operon, promoter region and operator region are located upstream of the cluster of structural genes, and the regulatory genes are located downstream of the structural genes.

What is the distance covered by boat N upstream in 5 hours? Which of the following option is sufficient alone to find the answer? A) Boat M is travelling downstream with 20% more downstream speed of boat N. Speed of boat M in still water is 10% more than the speed of boat N in still water. B) Boat M and Boat N are travelling downstream with speed 33 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively and speed of boat M is still water is 2 times the speed of stream. C) Speed of boat M in still water is 6 km/hr less then speed of boat N in still water and speed of stream is 10 km/hr. D) Speed of stream is ½ times the speed of boat N in still water and downstream speed of boat M is 44 km/hr. E) Speed of stream is 10 km/hr and ratio of upstream speed of boat M and boat N is 3 : 2 respectively.
Questions below followed by two quantities. Find the relation between them. The table shows the distance travelled by five different boats upstream, the speed of the boat in still water and the time taken by them to cover the upstream distance. Boats Upstream distance Speed of boat Time taken  A  240 km  15 km/hr  20 hr  B  150 km  10 km/hr  25 hr  C  350 km  20 km/hr  50 hr  D  96 km  8 km/hr  16 hr  E  126 km  26 km/hr  9 hr   Quantity I: Boat B travel 238 km distance downstream in certain time. How much downstream distance boat D will cover at the same time? Quantity II: Boat E travel 722 km distance downstream in certain time. How much downstream distance boat A will cover at the same time?
If the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel D km each upstream and X2 to travel downstream is 4 hours and the sum of the total time taken by boats X1 to travel downstream and X2 to travel upstream the same distance D km each is 12 hours. Time taken by X2 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t1 hours. Similarly, the time taken by X1 to travel upstream exceeds its downstream time by t2 hours. What is the value of (t1 - t2)?
