A man can row 24 kmph in still water. It takes him thrice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream?

Answer»

12 kmph



Let man's RATE UPSTREAM be X kmph 

Then his rate of downstream = 3X kmph 

Rate still water = 1/2 (3X + X) = 2X 

2X = 24 

X = 12 

Rate of upstream = 12 

Rate of downstream = 36 

Rate of stream 1/2 ( 36 - 12) = 12 kmph
