Correct Answer: 3 kms/hr
Correct Answer: 8
Correct Answer: 2 km/hr
Explanation:
If the speed downstream is a kmph and the speedup stream is b kmph then
Speed of the stream = 1/2 x (a?b) kmph
Speed downstream a = 12kmph
Speed upstream b = 8 kmph
Speed of the stream = 1/2 x (a?b) = 1/2 x (12?8)= 4/2 = 2 kmph
