  • A
    $2:1$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $4:3$
  • D

$A$ river is flowing with a steady speed of $4\, km/h$. One rows his boat downstream in the river and then returns by rowing upstream in the same river. When he returns to the starting point,the total distance covered by him is $42\, km$. If the return journey takes $2\, h$ more than his outward journey,then the speed of his rowing in still water must be (in $km/h$)

$A$ swimmer covers a distance of $28\, km$ against the current and $40\, km$ in the direction of the current. If in each case he takes $4\, hours$,then the speed of the current is..........$km/h$.

$A$ man can row a boat at a speed of $8\, km/h$ in still water. He was rowing the boat downstream from one point to another. After travelling half of the distance,the motor of the boat failed. He continued to drift along the stream and reached his destination,taking $6\, hours$ more than the usual time. The speed of the stream is $2\, km/h$. What is the total distance between the two points in $km$?

If the speed of a swimmer in still water is $9\, km/h$,find the downstream speed of the swimmer when the river is flowing with a speed of $6\, km/h$ (in $km/h$).

$A$ man can row at $10 \text{ km/h}$ in still water. If he takes a total of $5 \text{ h}$ to go to a place $24 \text{ km}$ away and return,then the speed of the water current is $... \text{ km/h}$.
