    A man takes 12 hours to row 21 km upstream from point A to point B and back to A by boat. If he takes the same time to row 7 km downstream as upstream. If it takes time to cover 3 kilometers then find the velocity of the stream .

    A 5/3km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3/2km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7/5km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9/5km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of boat in still water =B and speed of stream =S then Speed of boat in downstream=B+S and distance =7km So now -time =7/B+S Speed of boat upstream =B-S and Distance =3km So, time = 3/B-S ATQ- S= 10/6=5/3. Speed of Stream = 5/3km/h
