    A boatman rows 1 km in 5 min, along the stream and 6 km in 1 h against the stream. The speed of the stream is

    A) 3 km/h

    B)  6 km/h

    C)  10 km/h

    D)  12 km/h

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Speed of current \[=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Rate}\,\,\text{downstream}-\text{Rate}\,\,\text{upstream)}\]     \[=\frac{1}{2}(12-6)\,\,\text{km/h}\] \[=3\,\,\text{km/h}\] \[\left[ \therefore \text{Rate}\,\,\text{downstream}=\frac{1}{5}\times 60=12\,\,\text{km/h} \right]\]
