Answer» Answer: DISTANCE is 3 km Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Speed Downstream = (7.5 + 1.5) kmph = 9 kmph Speed Upstream = (7.5 - 1.5) kmph = 6 kmph Let the REQUIRED distance be x km. Then, x/9 + x/6 = 50/60 2x + 3x = 5/6 × 18 = 5X = 15, x = 3 Hence the required distance is 3 km. if you like my ans please support by giving thanks |
