A boatman can row 4.5 km/h in still water. If the river flows at 1.5 km/h, it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and come back. How far is the place?
A. 3 km
B. 4 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 6 km

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 km/h. Upstream speed = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 km/h. Let distance be d. d/6 + d/3 = 2 => 3d/6 = 2 => d/2 = 2 => d = 4 km.
