      Question

      A man can row 13 km/hr in still water. When the river is

      running at 5 km/hr, it takes him 6.5 hours to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
      A 36 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 35 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 26 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 34 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let distance = x [if gte msEquation 12]>x [if !msEquation]-->[endif]--> km, Rate upstream = 13 - 5 = 8 km/hr Rate downstream= 13 + 5 = 18 km/hr. [if gte msEquation 12]>тИ┤ [if !msEquation]-->[endif]-->`:.` Time taken upstream = `x/8` [if gte msEquation 12]> x 8 [if !msEquation]-->[endif]--> Time taken downstream = `x/18` [if gte msEquation 12]> x 18 [if !msEquation]-->[endif]--> => x/8 + x/18 = 6.5 ⇒ 13x/72 = 6.5 ⇒ x = 36 km .
