    A man swims 1 km in 10 min in the direction of current and 1 km in 30 min against the direction of the current. What is the speed of the current?

    A)  4 km/h

    B)  2 km/h

    C)  6 km/h

    D)  5 km/h

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let Speed of person in still water = u km/h and Speed of stream = v km/h, then \[\,u+v=\frac{1\,\,km}{\frac{10}{60}h}=6\,\,km/h\]                    ?(i) \[u-v=\frac{1\,\,km}{\frac{30}{60}h}=2\,\,km/h\]                        ?(ii) On subtracting Eq. 9i0 from Eq. (ii), \[2\text{v}=6-2=4\] \[\therefore \]Speed of stream \[(v)=\frac{4}{2}=2\,\,km/h\]
