A boat moves downstream at the rate of 1 km in 6 min and upstream at the rate of 1 km in 10 min. The speed of the current (in km/hr) is (a) 1 (b) 1.5 (c) 2 (d) 2.5 |

Answer» (c) 2 km/hr Speed downstream = \(\big(\frac16\times60\big)\) = 10 km/hr Speed upstream = \(\big(\frac1{10}\times60\big)\) = 6 km/hr ∴ Speed of the current = \(\frac12\) (10 – 6) km/hr = 2 km/hr. |
