A man rows upstream 36 km and downstream 48 km taking 6 hours each time. The speed of the current is
-
- 0.5 kmph
- 2 kmph
- 1 kmph
- 1.5 kmph
- 0.5 kmph
Correct Option: C
As per the given in above question , we have
| Rate downstream of boat = | = 8 kmph | |
| 6 |
| Rate upstream = | = 6 kmph | |
| 6 |
| ∴ Speed of current = | (Rate down stream – rate upstream) | |
| 2 |
| Speed of current = | (8 – 6) = 1 kmph | |
| 2 |
We can find the required answer with the help of given formula :
| Here, p = | = 8 kmph | |
| 6 |
| q = | = 6 kmph | |
| 6 |
| Speed of Current = | (p - q) | |
| 2 |
| Speed of Current = | (8 - 6) = 1 kmph | |
| 2 |
