      Question

      A man can row 25/2 km an hour in still water and he

      finds that it takes him thrice as long to row up as to row down the river. The rate of stream is:
      A 12.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 6.25km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 8.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18.25 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 4.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the rate of stream be x km/hr Then, Speed of downstream = `(25/2) + x` km/hr Speed of upstream = `(25/2) - x` km/hr (12.5 + x) = 3 (12.5 - x ) 12.5 + x = 37.5 - 3x 4x = 25 x = 6.25 km/hr
