A man rowed 3 miles upstream in 90 minutes. If the river flowed with a current of 2 miles per hour, how long did the man's return trip take?
সমাধান
সঠিক উত্তর: Option A
The boat travels upstream in 90 minutes = 3 miles
The boat travels upstream in 60 minutes = 3*60/90 miles
= 2 miles
Thus, Speed of Boat - Speed of Current = Upstream Speed of boat
or, Speed of Boat - 2 = 2
or, Speed of Boat = 2+2
or, Speed of Boat = 4 miles/hour
Now,
Upon Returning,
The Boat travels Downstream,
Whereas,
Downstream speed of Boat = Speed of Boat + Speed of Current
