  1. A man can row upstream 32 km in 4 hours. If the speed of current is 2 km/hr, find how much he can go downstream in 6 hours ?
    1. 70 km
    2. 72 km
    3. 64 km
    4. 81 km
Correct Option: B

∵ Upstream rate = 32/4 = 8 km/hr
⇒ Speed of man in still water = 8 + 2 = 10 km/hr
⇒ Downstream rate = (10 + 2) = 12 km/hr
Now, the required distance = 12 x 6 = 72 km
