    Question

    In a fixed time, a boy swims thrice the distance along

    the current that he swims against the current. If the speed of the current is 11 km/hr, the speed of the boy in still water is
    A 22 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 16 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 26 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the rate of swimming in still water be x km/hr Rate down-stream = (x + 11) km/hr Rate up-stream = (x – 11) km/hr According to the question, (x + 11) t = 3 (x – 11) × t x + 11 = 3x – 33 x = 22 km/hr
