A boat goes 12 km in 1 h in still water. It takes thrice time in covering the same distance against the current. Find the speed of the current.?
Correct Answer: 8 km/h
Explanation:
Speed of a boat in still water = distance / time = 12/1 = 12 km/h
Speed against the current = 12/3 km/h
Let the speed of the current = x km/h
According to the question,
12 - x = 4
⇒ x = 8 km/h
