    A sailor sails a distance of 48 km along the flow of a river in 8 h. If it takes 12 h to return the same distance, then the speed of the flow of the river is

    A)  0.5 km/h                      

    B)  1 km/h

    C)  1.5 km/h                      

    D)  2 km/h

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let speed of the How of water be v to/h and rate of sailing of sailer be u tan/h. Then, \[u+v=\frac{48}{8}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[u+v=6\]                                  ...(i) and       \[u-v=\frac{48}{12}\]   \[\Rightarrow \]   \[u-v=4\]                                   ...(ii) On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[v=1\,\,km/h\]
