    D 2.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance downstream= 200 km Time taken to row downstream = 50 hrs. Speed downstream = 200/50= 4 km/hr. Distance upstream= 90 km, Time taken to row upstream = 30 hrs. Speed upstream =90/30= 3 km/hr. Speed of the stream = 1/2(4-3)= 1/2 km/hr
