A man can row 44 km downstream in 4 hours. If the man's rowing rate in still water is 8 km/hr, then find in what time will he cover 25 km upstream?

Question

Accepted Answer

∵ Man's rate in still water = (man's rate with current + his rate against current)/2 ⇒ 8 = 1/2 [ 44/4 + 25/T ] ⇒ 16 = 11 + 25/T ∴ T = 5 hours
