A boat covers a distance of 24 km upstream and returns to the same point in a total time of 4 hours. If the speed of the boat in downstream is twice its speed in upstream, then the speed of boat in upstream is:

  1. A 3 km/h
  2. B 6 km/h
  3. C 9 km/h
  4. D 18 km/h
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 9 km/h

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( T = \frac{d}{v_u} + \frac{d}{v_d} \) \( v_d = 2v_u \) \( 4 = \frac{24}{v_u} + \frac{24}{2v_u} \) \( 4 = \frac{24}{v_u} + \frac{12}{v_u} \) \( 4 = \frac{36}{v_u} \) \( v_u = \frac{36}{4} = 9 \) km/h
