    Speed of the Boat in still water = 6 kmph.
    Speed of the Current = 9 kmph
    Speed of the Boat Downstream = 6 + 9 = 15 kmph.
    Speed of the Boat Upstream = 9 - 6 = 3 kmph.
    Let Distance was x km.
    x/3 - x/15 = 3
    (5 - 1)x/15 = 3
    4x = 3 * 15
    x = 45/4 km.
    Distance = 45/4 km.
