  4. D 1.57 km
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2.25 km

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v_d = 6 + 3 = 9\) km/hr \(v_u = 6 - 3 = 3\) km/hr \(\frac{D}{3} - \frac{D}{9} = 0.5\) \(\frac{3D - D}{9} = 0.5\) \(\frac{2D}{9} = 0.5\) \(D = \frac{0.5 \times 9}{2} = 2.25\) km
