A boat travels upstream from B to A and downstream from A to B in 3 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9km/hr and the speed of the current is 3km/hr, the distance A and B is:_______?

Basic Maths Mcqs Boats and Streams 21/10/2024

A. 4km
B. 6 km
C. 8 km
D. 12 km

Explanation:

Speed downstream = (9+3) km/hr = 12km/hr

Speed upstream = (9-3) km/hr = 6 km/hr

Distance AB = x km

x/6 + x/12 = 3

=> 2x + x = 36

=> x= 12
