A man rows 24 km downstream in 2 hours and the same distance upstream in 6 hours. Find the speed of the stream. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Let length of train be L. Speed = L/30. Also, Speed = (L+110)/40. So L/30 = (L+110)/40 => 4L = 3L + 330 => L = 330 meters.

Explanation:
Train 1 takes 4 hours, Train 2 takes 3.5 hours (7/2 hours). Let distance be LCM(4, 3.5) = 28 units. Speed of Train 1 = 7 units/h, Speed of Train 2 = 8 units/h. By 8:00 AM, Train 1 travels 2 hours * 7 = 14 units. Remaining distance = 28 - 14 = 14 units. Relative speed = 7 + 8 = 15 units/h. Time to meet after 8 AM = 14/15 hours = 56 minutes. Meeting time = 8:56 AM.

Explanation:
Total distance = 40 + 60 = 100 km. Time for first sector = 40 / 20 = 2 hours. Time for second sector = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Total time = 4 hours. Average speed = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h.
