In a river, a man takes 3 hours in rowing 3 km upstream or 15 km downstream. What is the speed of the current?

  • A.2km/hr
  • B.4km/hr
  • C.6km/hr
  • D.9km/hr

Answer: A

Speed upstream = 3/3 km/hr =1 km/hr 

 

Speed downstream = 15/3 km/hr = 5 km/hr 

 

Speed of current = ½(5 -1) km/hr = 2 km/hr
