    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the downstream speed of the boat be ‘a’ km/hr According to the question, (3x/a) = 6 Or, (x/a) = (6/3) Or, (x/a) = 2 = time taken to travel ‘x’ km downstream Let the upstream speed of the boat be ‘b’ km/hr Also, (x/a) + (x/b) = 11 Or, 2 + (x/b) = 11 Or, (x/b) = 9 hours
