  1. A man rows upstream 16 km and downstream 28 km talking 5 hours each time. The velocity of the current is ?
    1. 2.4 km/hr
    2. 1.2 km/hr
    3. 3.6 km/hr
    4. 1.8 km/hr
Correct Option: B

Speed downstream = (28/5) km/hr = 5.6 km/hr
Speed upstream = (16/5) km/hr = 3.2 km/hr
Velocity of current = (5.6 - 3.2)/2 km/hr = 1.2 km/hr
