$A$ river is flowing at a speed of $5\, km/h$ in a particular direction. $A$ man,who can swim at a speed of $20\, km/h$ in still water,starts swimming along the direction of flow of the river from point $A$ and reaches another point $B$ which is at a distance of $30\, km$ from the starting point $A$. On reaching point $B$,the man turns back and starts swimming against the direction of flow of the river and stops after reaching point $A$. The total time taken by the man to complete his journey is:

$A$ man can swim $3 \text{ km/h}$ in still water. If the velocity of the stream is $2 \text{ km/h}$,the time taken by him to swim to a place $10 \text{ km}$ upstream and back is (in hours):

$A$ boat covers $24 \text{ km}$ upstream and $36 \text{ km}$ downstream in $6 \text{ hours}$,while it covers $36 \text{ km}$ upstream and $24 \text{ km}$ downstream in $6 \frac{1}{2} \text{ hours}$. The velocity of the current is .... $\text{km/h}$.
