still water speed = 1kmph
upstream distance ; 3*(x-1)
downstream distance ; 3*(x+1)
total distance = 12
solve for x ; 3x-1+3x+1 = 12; x = 2
downstream distance ; 3*3 ; 9 km and upstream dist ; 3 * 1 ; 3 km
total distance need to be covered ; 6km
upstream speed = (x-1 ) ; (2-1 ) ; 1 kmph
total time ; 6 hrs ;
IMO A

r=td, r_up=r+1, r_dn=r-1
(r+1)3+(r-1)3=12, 6r=12, r=2
3hr down: (r+1)3=3*3=9km
3hr up: (r-1)3=1*3=3km
difference to starting point: 9-3km=6km
time to reach starting point: 6/1=6hrs
Ans (A)
