A Boy can swim 12 km/hr in still water. If the velocity of the stream is 6 km/hr, the time taken by him to swim a place 28 km upstream and back is

A 76/9 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 11/2 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 56/9 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 61/8 hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Rate downstream = 12 + 6 = 18 km/hr Rate upstream = 12 – 6 = 6 km/hr ∴ Required time = 28/18 + 28/6 = 56/9 = `6(2)/9` hr.
