      Question

      A boat covers 36 km downstream in 2 hours, and it takes

      3 hours to cover the same distance upstream. What is the speed of the current?
      A 2 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Speed downstream = Distance / Time = 36/2 = 18 km/h. Speed upstream = Distance / Time = 36/3 = 12 km/h. Speed of current = (Speed downstream - Speed upstream) / 2 = (18 - 12) / 2 = 6/2 = 3 km/h. Correct Option: b
