      Question

      A man can row at 6 km/hr in still water. If the velocity

      of current is 3 km/hr and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
      A 4 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2.25 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4.5 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4.2 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 5.25 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the distance be x km. Speed upstream = 6 – 3 = 3 km/hr Speed downstream = 6 + 3 = 9 km/hr ⇒ x/3 + x/9 = 1 ⇒ (6x + 2x)/18 = 1 ⇒ 8x = 18 ⇒ x = 18/8 = 2.25 km
