      Question

      A boat goes 8 km an hour in still water, but takes twice

      as much time in going the same distance against the current. The speed of the current (in km/hour) is :
      A 2 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 12 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the current be x kmph. According to the question, 8/(8 – x) = 2 ⇒ 16 – 2x = 8 ⇒ 2x = 16 – 8 ⇒ x = 8/2 = 4 km/hr
