      Question

      A man rows a boat 72 kms in 5 hours downstream and

      returns upstream in 12 hours. The speed of the stream (in km per hour) is:
      A 7.2 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2.1 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4.2 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 10.2 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Rate downstream = 72/5 = 14.4 km/hr Rate upstream = 72/12 = 6 km/hr Now, speed of the stream = (rate downstream – rate upstream)/2 ⇒ (14.4 – 6)/2 = 4.2 km/hr
