      Question

      A man can row 10 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 72 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 150 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 40 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the required distance be x km. Therefore, x/(10 – 2) – x/(10 + 2) = 3 ⇒ x/8 – x/12 = 3 ⇒ (3x – 2x)/24 = 3 ⇒ x = 3 x 24 = 72 km
