A man can row 6 km/h in still water. If it takes him twice as long to row upstream as to row downstream of a river, then the speed of the stream is:
A. 2 km/h
B. 2.5 km/h
C. 3 km/h
D. 1.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Let speed of stream be s. Downstream speed = 6 + s. Upstream speed = 6 - s. Given: 2 * (6 - s) = 6 + s => 12 - 2s = 6 + s => 3s = 6 => s = 2 km/h.
