A man can row 8 Kmph in still water. If the velocity of the current is 2 Kmph and it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and come back. How far is the place?
Choose the correct choice from the following options: A) 5.5 B) 8.5 C) 6.5 D) 9.5 E) 7.5

Rationale: man ' s rate down stream = 8 + 2 = 10 kmph man ' s rate upstream = 8 - 2 = 6 kmph let the required distance be x km then x / 10 + x / 6 = 2 3 x + 5 x = 60 8 x = 60 x = 7.5 km answer is e .
Answer: E
