      Question

      A man can row 8 km/hr in still water. If the speed of

      the current is 2 km/hr, it takes 3 hours more in upstream than in the downstream for the same distance. The distance is
      A 48 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 80 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 120 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 35 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the required distance be x km. Therefore, x/(8 – 2) – x/(8 + 2) = 3 ⇒ x/6 – x/10 = 3 ⇒ (5x – 3x)/30 = 3 ⇒ x = 3 x 30/2 = 45 km
