A person can row a boat at \(5 km / hr\) in still water. If the speed of water current in a river is \(1 km / hr\), and it takes him \(1\) hour to row to a place and come back, how far off is the place?

  1. A \(3 .6\) km
  2. B \(2.4\) km
  3. C \(2\) km
  4. D \(3.2\) km
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2.4\) km

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_d = 5 + 1 = 6 \text{ km/hr}\) \(v_u = 5 - 1 = 4 \text{ km/hr}\) \(T = \frac{d}{v_d} + \frac{d}{v_u}\) \(1 = \frac{d}{6} + \frac{d}{4}\) \(1 = d \left( \frac{2+3}{12} \right)\) \(1 = d \left( \frac{5}{12} \right)\) \(d = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \text{ km}\)
