    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Downstream speed = 12km/hr. Upstream speed = 3/4 ×12 = 9km/hr. Downstream time for 72km = 72/12 = 6 hrs Let upstream distance = 'x' km. Upstream time = x/9. Given: Upstream time is 3hours more than downstream time:. (x/9) - 6 = 3. Solve = x/9 = 9 x = 81
