A motorboat can row at the speed of 8 km/hr in still water. If the speed of current is 2 km/hr and the boat takes 4 hours to row to a place and return back, how far is the place |
5 km 25 km 15 km 30 km |
15 km |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 15 km Time taken to go downstream = $\frac{d}{10}$ Time taken to return upstream = $\frac{d}{6}$ $⇒\frac{d}{6}+\frac{d}{10}=4$ $⇒\frac{8d}{30}=4$ $⇒d=15km$ |
