    A boat takes 3 h to travel from place M to N downstream and back from N to M upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 4 km/h, what is the distance between the two places?

    A) 8 km

    B) 12 km

    C) 6 km

    D) Cannot be determined

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let the distance between M and N and the speed of current in still water be d km and x km/h, respectively. According to the question, \[\frac{d}{4+x}+\frac{d}{4-x}=3\] in the above equation, we have variables,   hence   cannot   be determined.
