A man can row 6 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/hr he takes 4 hours more in upstream than the downstream. The distance is?
A. 30 km
B. 24 km
C. 20 km
D. 32 km
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Speed of man in still water, x = 6 km/hSpeed of current, y = 2 km/h
Let distance = M
According to question
Upstream time = Downstream time + 4
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{M}{4} = \frac{M}{8} + 4 \cr & \frac{M}{4} = \frac{{M + 32}}{8} \cr & M = 32 \cr & \therefore {\text{Distance = 32 }}km \cr} $$
