A boat travels upstream from B to A and downstream from A to B in 3 hours. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9km/hr and the speed of the current is 3km/hr, the distance A and B is:

Answer: D

Speed downstream = (9+3) km/hr = 12km/hr 

 

Speed upstream = (9-3) km/hr = 6 km/hr 

 

Distance AB = x km 

 

 x/6 + x/12 = 3 

 

=> 2x + x = 36 

 

=> x= 12
