- A boats man can row in still water at speed of 7 km/hr.
Question 1:
A boats man can row in still water at speed of 7 km/hr. It takes 6 hours more to travel the same distance in upstream than in downstream if the speed of the river is 3 km/hr. what is the distance between the two destinations? A. 40 km
Feedback x = 7 km/hr ; y = 3 km/hr
Ds = 10 km/hr ; Us = 4 km/hr
Distance (d) is same. Therefore, if time taken for downstream is t hours, the time for upstream is (t + 6) hours
10 × t = 4 × (t + 6)
6t = 24 ; t = 4 hours
d = 10 × 4 = 40 km
Ds = 10 km/hr ; Us = 4 km/hr
Distance (d) is same. Therefore, if time taken for downstream is t hours, the time for upstream is (t + 6) hours
10 × t = 4 × (t + 6)
6t = 24 ; t = 4 hours
d = 10 × 4 = 40 km
B. 30 km
C. 10 km
D. 20 km
