A motorboat, whose speed in 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. The speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:

• 1] 4 km/hr
• 2] 5 km/hr
• 3] 6 km/hr
• 4] 10 km/hr

A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:

• 1] 1 km/hr
• 2] 1.5 km/hr
• 3] 2 km/hr
• 4] 2.5 km/hr

A boat travels 24 km upstream in 6 hours and 20 km downstream in 4 hours. Then the speed of boat in still water and the speed of current are respectively.

• 1] 4 kmph and 3 kmph
• 2] 4.5 kmph and 0.5 kmph
• 3] 4 kmph and 2 kmph
• 4] 5 kmph and 2 kmph
