    of current is 5 kmph and it takes him 7 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
    A 10 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 13 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 12 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance be x km. Speed upstream = 7 – 5 = 2 kmph Speed downstream = 7 + 5 = 12 kmph => (x/12) + (x/2) = 7 => (x + 6x)/12 = 7 => 7x = 84 => x = 12 km
