    Speed in still water $$=6km/h$$
    Speed in upstream $$=6-2 = 4km/h $$
    Speed in downstream $$ =6+2=8 km/h$$
    Distance =d
    Time taken while going downstream =t hours
    Time taken while going upstream = t+3 hours
    Since the distance is same
    $$8 imes t = 4 imes (t+3) = 4t +12$$
    $$4t =12$$
    $$t=3 hours$$
    Distance = Speed in downstream $$ imes$$ Time taken while going downstream
    $$=8 imes3$$
    $$=24 km$$
    Hence Option B is the correct answer.
