      Question

      A man can row 8 km/hr in still water. If the speed of

      the current is 2 km/hr, it takes 5 hours more in upstream than in the downstream for the same distance. Find the distance.
      A 63 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 82 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed of man in still water = x = 8 km/hr Speed of current = y = 2 km/hr Let the distance be x km. Now according to the question, Upstream time = Downstream time + 5 => x/(8-2) – x/(8+2) = 5 => x/6 – x/10 = 5 => [(5x - 3x)/30] = 5 => x = 75 km
