- The speed of the boat in still water is 30 km/h.

- The river current flows at a speed of 6 km/h.

- Upstream, the effective speed of the boat is reduced due to the current.

- Therefore, the upstream speed = (30 - 6) km/h = 24 km/h.

- Distance covered in a specific time can be calculated using the formula: distance = speed × time.

- Time given is 5 minutes, which is 5/60 hours, or 1/12 hours.

- Distance traveled upstream = 24 km/h × 1/12 hours = 2 km.

Option:3 - 2 km is correct.
