54 km

50 km

40 km

60 km

- The boat covers 250 km downstream in 5 hours, so the downstream speed is 50 km/h.

- It covers 150 km upstream in 5 hours, so the upstream speed is 30 km/h.

- To find the speed of the current, we use the average of the differences between these speeds.

- Speed of the current = (50 km/h - 30 km/h) / 2 = 10 km/h.

- A wooden object floating in the river moves with the current speed.

- In 6 hours, the distance covered by the object is 10 km/h * 6 = 60 km.

- Option 4: 60 km
