A man rows his boat 60 km downstream and 30 km upstream taking 3 hrs each time. Find the speed of the stream ?
Options
A. 5 kmph
B. 10 kmph
C. 15 kmph
D. 45 kmph

Correct Answer

5 kmph

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 = $\frac{s p e e d o f d o w n s t r e a m - s p e e d o f u p s t r e a m}{2}$ =5 kmph
