Answer : 2. "6 mile/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 6 mile/hr Explanation: Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)milesso total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstreamIn downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)1+5b-5r = 5b+5r1 = 10rr = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.
