Answer» Answer: 4.8 hr Explanation: Let day Distance = D Speed in still WATER = X km/Hr Speed of River = R km/Hr Along the flow Speed = X + R km/hr Time Taken = D/(X + R) = 4 Against the flow Speed = X - R km/hr Time Taken = D/(X - R) = 6 => (X+R)/(X - R) = 6/4 => (X+R)/(X - R) = 3/2 => 2X + 2R = 3X - 3R => X = 5R D/(5R + R) = 4 => D = 24R time to cross same distance in still water D/X = 24R/5R = 4.8 hr |
