Q:
A man can row 6 kmph in still water. When the river is running at 1.2 kmph, it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and back. What is the total distance traveled by the man ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: C) 5.76 kms
Explanation: Speed in still water = 6 kmph
Stream speed = 1.2 kmph
Down stream = 7.2 kmph
Up Stream = 4.8 kmph
x/7.2 + x/4.8 = 1
x = 2.88
Total Distance = 2.88 x 2 = 5.76 kms
