A man can row downstream at 18 kmph and upstream at 10 kmph. Find the speed of the man in still water and the speed of stream respectively?

  • A.13, 3
  • B.12, 6
  • C.15, 3
  • D.14, 4

Answer: D

Let the speed of the man in still water and speed of stream be x kmph and y kmph respectively.

Given x + y = 18 --- (1) 

and x - y = 10 --- (2)

From (1) & (2) 2x = 28 => x = 14, y = 4.
