      Question

      A man rows a boat 60 kms in 4 hours downstream and

      returns upstream in 12 hours. The speed of the stream (in km per hour) is:
      A 15 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 7.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate downstream = 60/4 = 15 km/hr Rate upstream = 60/12 = 5 km/hr Now, speed of the stream = (rate downstream – rate upstream)/2 ⇒ (15 – 5)/2 = 5 km/hr
