A man can row 5 km/h in still water. He takes 2.5 hours to row to a point and back when the current flows at 1 km/h. How far is the point? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Stoppage time per hour = (45 - 36) / 45 = 9 / 45 = 1/5 hour. In minutes = (1/5) * 60 = 12 minutes.

Explanation:
New speed = 360 / 4 = 90 km/h. Since the new speed is 15 km/h faster than original speed, original speed = 90 - 15 = 75 km/h.

Explanation:
Upstream speed = 13 / 5 = 2.6 km/h. Downstream speed = 28 / 5 = 5.6 km/h. Speed of stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (5.6 - 2.6) / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 km/h.
