A man can row 5 km/h in still water. If the speed of the current is 1 km/h. it takes 3 h more in upstream than in the downstream for the same distance. The distance is

36 km

24 km

20 km

32 km

Explanation:

A man speed in downstream =(5+1) km/hr=6km/hr
A man speed in upstream=(5-1) km/hr=4km/hr
Let the reqd.dist be x km
According to question,
x/4 - x/6 =3
6x-4x/24=3
x=36 km
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
