A person can row at 9 kmph and still water. He takes 4 1/2 hours to row from A to B and back. What is the distance between A and B if the speed of the stream is 1 kmph?

Basic Maths Mcqs Boats and Streams 29/09/2020

A. 32 km
B. 25 km
C. 28 km
D. 24 km
E. None of these

Explanation:

Let the distance between A and B be x km.

Total time = x/(9 + 1) + x/(9 – 1) = 4.5
=> x/10 + x/8 = 9/2 => (4x + 5x)/40 = 9/2 => x = 20 km.
