Q.

A man rows his boat 60 km downstream and 30 km upstream taking 3 hrs each time. Find the speed of the stream ?

View Answer

Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Speed of the boat downstream s=a/t= 60/3 = 20 kmph Speed of the boat upstream s= d/t = 30/3= 10 kmph Therefore, The speed of the stream = speed of downstream − speed of upstream2 =5 kmph
