    				| 1. | A man can row the boat at 5 km/hr in still water. If the velocity of the current is 1 km/hr and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place? (a) 2.5 km (b) 3 km (c) 2.4 km (d) 3.6 km | 
| Answer» (c) 2.4 km Let the distance of the destination be x km. Speed of boat downstream = (5 + 1) km/hr = 6 km/hr Speed of boat upstream = (5 – 1) km/hr = 4 km/hr Then, \(\frac{x}6+\frac{x}4=1\) ⇒ \(\frac{2x+3x}{12}=1\) ⇒ x = \(\frac{12}5\) = 2.4 km. | |
