A boat takes 3 hours to travel from place M to N downstream and back from N to M upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 4 km, what is the distance between the two places ?
-
- 8 km
- 12 km
- 6 km
- Data inadequate
Correct Option: D
Let the distance between M and N and the speed of current be d km and x km/hr respectively.
According to the question = {d/(4 + x) + d/(4 - x)} = 3
In the above equation we have only one equations but two variables. Hence cannot be determined (Data inadequate).
