A motorboat rows 24 km downstream in 3 hours and tracks the identical route upstream back to the jetty point in 4 hours. Find the net speed index of the current stream flow.
A. 1.5 km/h
B. 1.0 km/h
C. 1.2 km/h
D. 0.8 km/h
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Downstream speed = 24 / 3 = 8 km/h. Upstream speed = 24 / 4 = 6 km/h. Speed of current stream flow = (8 - 6) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1.0 km/h.
