Question #3
A boatman rows 1 km in 5 minutes along the stream and 1 km in 12 minutes against the stream. Find the speed of the stream.
A. 3.5 km/h
B. 4 km/h
C. 5 km/h
D. 4.5 km/h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Downstream speed = 1 km / (5/60 hours) = 12 km/h. Upstream speed = 1 km / (12/60 hours) = 5 km/h. Speed of stream = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) / 2 = (12 - 5) / 2 = 3.5 km/h.
