A boat goes 6 km in an hour in still water. It takes thrice as much time in covering the same distance against the current. Speed of the current is?

  • A.2 km/hr
  • B.3km/hr
  • C.4km/hr
  • D.5 km/hr

Answer: C

Speed in still water = 6 km/hr 

 

Speed against the current = 6/3 km/hr = 2 km/hr 

 

Let the speed of the current be x km/hr 

 

6-x = 2 => x =4 km/hr
