      A boy can swim a certain distance downstream in 3 hours

      and return in 5 hours. If the rate of stream is 6 kmph then what is the speed of boy in still water?
      A 24 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      C 27 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 22 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the speed of the boy in still water be x kmph. Then, (x + 6) Γ— 3 = (x – 6) Γ— 5 => 3x + 18 = 5x - 30 => 2x = 48 => x = 24 kmph
