      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
