      Question

      A man rows a boat 24 kms in 3 hours downstream and

      returns upstream in 6 hours. The speed of the stream (in km per hour) is:
      A 3 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 6 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate downstream = 24/3 = 8 km/hr Rate upstream = 24/6 = 4 km/hr Now, speed of the stream = (rate downstream – rate upstream)/2 ⇒ (8 – 4)/2 = 2 km/hr
