Speed of a man with current measures 15 km/hr. Speed of current is 2.5 km/hr. What is the speed of man against the current?

  • A.12.5 kmph
  • B.10 kmph
  • C.9 kmph
  • D.8.5 kmph

Answer: B

Let the speed of man in still water be x km/hr

Now, speed with current=15 km/hr

Speed of current: 2.5 km/hr

Speed of man with current: Speed of man in still water+Speed of current

=>15=x+2.5

=>x=12.5

Speed of man against the current: Speed of man in still water-Speed of current

=>12.5-2.5

=>10 km/hr
