Q:

A motorboat goes 8 km an hour in still water, but takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current. Then find the speed of the current?

A) 4 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 3 kmph D) 2 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr

 

Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph

 

Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.

 

According to the given data,

 

Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current

 

i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C

 

 24 - 3C = 8 + C 4C = 16 C = 4 kmph

 

Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.
